Question: The horizontal rectangular channel downstream of the sluice gate is 1 0 ft wide, and the water discharge therein is 1 0 8 cfs .

The horizontal rectangular channel downstream of the sluice gate is 10 ft wide, and the water discharge therein is 108 cfs . The water surface profile was computed by the direct step method. If a 1 ft high sharp-crested weir is installed at the end of the channel, do you think a hydraulic jump would develop in the channel? If so, approximately where would it be located? Justify your answers by appropriate calculations. Label any water surface profiles that can be classified.
Answer the following questions: (1) Classify the profile below (no weir yet); (2). Compute and verify the water surface profile given below (Manning's n=0.011).(3). Classify and label the water surface after installation of the gate (water depth near the weir is ho+p).(4). Answer hydraulic jump question above.
