Problem 4(70 pts): During the field trip, we observed the flow in the manmade rectangle concretes open channel )=(0.013 passing the gate over 9.5:1 slope first, then 3:1 slope, and adverse 30:4 slope to reach the retention pond as shown in the Figure below. When the flow rate per width (Qb) is 50ft2s, and the velocity of the water at the bottom of the point 1is20.0fts, conditions will produce a hydraulic jump after the point 2, and the depth in the channel at point 3(y3) is increased to be 5ft.
1.) Determine the water depth at point 1(y1) and find the critical depth before the jump.
2.) Find water depth at point 2(y2) just before hydraulic jump
3.) What type of water surface profile between points 1 and 2, determine the distance between point 1 and 2 using direct step method
4.) determine energy loss between point 1 to 2 and point 2 to 3 in feet.
5.) determine water depth (y0) just before the gate if the head losses over the 9:5:1 slope and 3:1 slope channel is 10 ft of water
