The weir fuctor m = 3.42 ‘To what height Z (nearest 1/100 ft) can the weir be built, if the water behind the weir must no exceed 6 ft in depth? Solution: Velocity of approach ¥ = Q/A = 375.0/(25% 6) = 2.50 Nsec, 2\92 re sop\it Then 3750-342 250| (7 22H)” (COE and = 2.59 2 2 Height of weir is Z = 6.00 ~ 2.59 = 3.41 f. A contacted weir, 1.25 m high, is to be installed in a channel 2.5 m wide, The maximum flow over the weir is 1.70 m's when the total depth back of the weir is 2.00 m, What length of weir should be installed if m = 1,88?
