Question: A 1 2 0 ft spillway is studied using a model that is 1 0 ft . The discharge in the model is 0 .

A 120ft spillway is studied using a model that is
10ft . The discharge in the model is 0.3(m^(3))/(s).
Use these equations:
Lr=(Lm/Lp)=(1/12)
Froude Number: Frm=Frp >(v/sqrt(g*L))m=(v/sqrt(g*L))p > Vr = sqrt(Lr)
Qm/Qp= Lr^2(Vr)
Force Ratio > Fm/Fp = Vr^2(Lr^2)
(a) To what prototype discharge does this correspond? Find Qp
(b) The force in certain part of the model is found to be 30N , what is corresponding force in the prototype? Water is used in both model and prototype. Find Fp
