Question: A trapezoidal channel has a 3 m bottom width and a 1 : 1 side slope. It carries a discharge of 1 0 m 3

A trapezoidal channel has a 3m bottom width and a 1:1 side slope. It carries a discharge of 10m3s at a slope of 12cmkm. A hydraulic jump forms at an upstream depth of 0.6m. Calculate the specific momentum function, the critical flow depth and the conjugate depth. If you place baffle blocks to induce the hydraulic jump where the upstream depth is 0.4m and the flow depth downstream of the baffles is 1.2m, what is the force on the baffle blocks? [ hint: did you properly locate the center of pressure?]
