Q3(7 marks): There is a step in a rectangular channel. The channel is 2.0 m wide and carries a flow of 2.4m3s. The water depth before the step is 1.0 m . Neglect head losses in this question.
(a)(3 marks) Determine the maximum upward step such that hydraulic choke does not occur.
(b)(3 marks) When the step is an upward step and its height is 0.20 m , mathematically we have two possible water depths after the upward step. These two water depths are 0.39 m and 0.74 m . Which water depth is the right answer? Clearly provide your rationale and/or calculations to justify your answer.
(c)(1 mark) Determine the maximum downward step such that hydraulic choke does not occur.
