Question: The following data are given for the figure below: H 1 = 2 feet H 2 = 1 1 feet L = 1 8 feet

The following data are given for the figure below:
H1=2 feet
H2=11 feet
L=18 feet
HA=9 feet
k(Permeability of the soil beneath the hydraulic structure)=0.5ftmin
Determine:
The flow (q) in Gallons per day per foot of the width of the structure.
The pressure at point A.
(BONUS - Will be considered in your final grade of the course) The uplift force (per foot width of the structure) beneath the structure due to the upward water pressure.
