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).
Lr=(Lm/Lp)=(1/12)
(a) To what prototype discharge does this correspond?
(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.
