Question
Transcribed Image Text:For each problem, show the details of your calculations (equations, units etc.).
Problem #1
A nearly horizontal channel has a bottom width of 3 ft, and it carries a discharge of 60 cfs at a depth of 4
ft. Determine the magnitude and direction of the hydrostatic pressure force exerted on each of the
sidewalls per unit length of the channel if:
(a) The channel is rectangular with vertical sidewalls
(b) The channel is trapezoidal with each sidewall sloping outward at a slope 2 horizontal over 1
vertical, that is m = 2.
Problem #2
Determine the average cross-sectional velocity V and the discharge Q for the compound channel shown
below:
1m
V1=0.5 m/s
20m
3m
4m
V2=1.5 m/s
V3= 0.3 m/s
-22m
Problem #3
Determine the rate of momentum transfer and the rate of kinetic energy transfer for the compound
channel shown in Problem #2.
