For the following problem, consider a trapezoidal stilling basin. The centroidal depth ?bar(h) of a trapezoidal channel can be computed as:
?bar(h)=h2B+T3(B+T)
Where h is the depth of water, B is the bottom width of the trapezoid, and T is the top width of the trapezoid. Consider a trapezoidal stilling basin with bottom width of B=3.00[m] and side slopes 2:1 horizontal to vertical. Rapid flow into the stilling basin creates a hydraulic jump. At the upstream end of the stilling basin the depth is h1=0.581[m] and the discharge is Q=23.92[cms]. Determine the sequent depth of the water h2 in [m] downstream of the jump.
