Question 2(7 points)
Assuming the conduit in the figure is a trapezoidal designed rock excavated open channel with bottom width of 5' and side slopes of 4.5' horizontal to 2.5' vertical, and that the flow carried must be the same as in Question 1:
a) Determine the critical depth of the flow.
b) Determine the normal depth of flow based on Manning's equation.
c) If we place a 65V-notch weir at the left side of the reservoir, with the bottom of the notch 71' above the invert, what will be the discharge over the weir?
d) Determine the size and character of the hydraulic jump occurring at the gate. (Assume the initial depth is the depth emerging from the gate.)
