Question: A full channel width undershot sluice gate is partially lowered across a rectangular channel 2 m wide conveying 1 8 m 3 s of water.

A full channel width undershot sluice gate is partially lowered across a rectangular channel 2m
wide conveying 18m3s of water. The water backs up upstream of the sluice and a hydraulic
jump forms a short distance downstream of the sluice. The depth after the jump is observed to
be 4m. Assuming negligible velocity head upstream of the sluice, no loss of energy at the sluice
or in the channel flow and no change of momentum at the jump, determine the depths upstream
and downstream of the sluice (C).
