Prob. 4.2.15 p. IP-50[Ans: -33.8fts;1.05g]
4.2.15 WP Video A hydraulic jump is a rather sudden change in depth of a liquid layer as it flows in an open channel as shown in Fig. P4.2.15 and Video V10.12. In a relatively short distance (thickness =l), the liquid depth changes from z1 to z2, with a corresponding change in velocity from V1 to V2. If V1=1.20fts,V2=0.30fts, and l=0.02ft, estimate the average deceleration of the liquid as it flows across the hydraulic jump. How many g's deceleration does this represent?
