Question: b ) Determine the flow through a river section given the following information: Upstream maximum depth and width are 3 . 5 m and 1

b) Determine the flow through a river section given the following information: Upstream maximum depth and width are 3.5 m and 10 m respectively while the downstream maximum depth and width are 3.4 m and 11 m respectively; the drop in elevation of the water surface between the upstream and downstream ends of the river section is 0.5 m ; the length of the section is 1 km ; the roughness of the section is \( n=0.005\). Make one adjustment for velocity head and assume that the rivers cross-sectional profile is approximately triangular.
c) A flood alleviation channel is being investigated using a 1:30 scale model. The velocity of the design flood flow in the model is an average of \(0.6\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) while the flow rate is \(0.05\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\). Determine the corresponding flood flow and velocity in the prototype. In addition, if the measured hydrostatic force produced by the flood on the model is 1.5 N determine the corresponding force in the prototype.
