(b) Water discharging into a 8 m wide rectangular horizontal channel from a sluice gate
is observed to experience a hydraulic jump as in Figure Q5(b). The flow depth and
velocity before the jump are 0.8 m and 7ms, respectively. Determine
(i) the flow depth and the Froude number after the jump
(ii) the head loss and the dissipation ratio
