The quantity of water discharged over a rectangular weir is directly proportional  to the crest length and three-halves the power of the head (height of water  above the crest). If the rate of discharge over a weir having a crest length of 3 m  and a head of 0.70 m is 3.23 m^3/sec, find the rate of discharge over a weir  having a crest length of 6 m and a head of 1.40 m.

Question

The quantity of water discharged over a rectangular weir is directly proportional 
to the crest length and three-halves the power of the head (height of water 
above the crest). If the rate of discharge over a weir having a crest length of 3 m 
and a head of 0.70 m is 3.23 m^3/sec, find the rate of discharge over a weir 
having a crest length of 6 m and a head of 1.40 m.
