Suppose that a stable hydraulic jump forms between the two sluice gates shown in Figure 5.15. If the flow depth downstream of a sluice gate is 61% of the gate opening (yg), determine the downstream gate opening (yg2) for the following conditions: y1 = 0.61 m, Q = 15 m3/s, b = 5 m. (Hint. Assume no loss of energy through a sluice gate.)
