In the fountain shown, water flowing at 35 lpm exits the weir
at the top, with a stream that is 17 cm wide and 0.20 cm thick.
Determine the diameter of the stream (cm) at a point 88 cm
below the weir, assuming that the flow has a cylindrical shape
at this location

A submerged sharp crested weir 0.81 m high stands clear across a channel having vertical sides and width of 3.15 m. The depth of water in the channel of approach is 1.26 m, and 10.5 m downstream from the weir the depth of water is 0.93 m. Determine the discharge in litres per minute. Assume Cd1 = 0.58 and Cd2 = 0.80.
In order to determine the flow in a rectangular channel, a
75-mm-high bump is added on its bottom surface. The
measured depth of flow at the bump is 1.25 m. The flow is
uniform throughout the cross-sections at A and B, and the
channel has a width of 1.2 m. Assume the fluid is an ideal fluid,
that is, incompressible and frictionless.
