Question: Water flows in a rectangular channel of width 5 m at a velocity of 3 m s and depth of 4 m upstream of a

Water flows in a rectangular channel of width 5m at a velocity of 3ms and
depth of 4m upstream of a sluice gate.
g=9.81ms2
(a) Determine the flow regime (critical, subcritical, or supercritical) of the
upstream depth, y1.
(b) Determine the flow regime of the downstream depth, y2.(c) Determine
the critical velocity, vc and the minimum specific energy, Ec at the control.
(d) Determine the depth, y2 and the velocity, v2 of the water downstream of
the sluice gate.
b=5m
Water flows in a rectangular channel of width 5 m
