Question: A full channel width vertical undershot sluice gate, produces a downstream jet depth of 0 . 4 0 m when installed in a long rectangular

A full channel width vertical undershot sluice gate, produces a downstream jet depth of 0.40m
when installed in a long rectangular channel 5.0m wide conveying a steady discharge of 20.0
m3s. Assuming that the flow depth downstream of the gate returns to the uniform flow depth of
2.5m after a hydraulic jump
a) determine the head loss across the hydraulic jump ( I )
(1.968m)
b) if 5% of the total head is lost as water flows under the gate, calculate the depth upstream of
the gate (I)
(5.786m)
