1. Determine the flow over a suppressed weir 3.00 m long and 1.

20 m high under a head


0.914m. The value of cw is 1.91. Neglecting velocity of approach.
2. Determine the flow over a suppressed weir 3.00 m long and 1.20 m high under a head 0.914
m.The value of cw is 1.91. Consider the velocity of approach.
3. A contracted 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 m3/s when the total depth back of the weir is 2.00 m. What length of the
weir should be installed if cw = 1.88?
4. Determine the head on a 45o V-notch weir for a discharge of 200 L/s. Use C=0.57.

5. Find the width, in meters of the channel at the back of a one-end contracted weir using the
following data:

Head,H = 28.5 cm

Depth of water, d = 2.485 m

Q = 0.84 m3/s

Consider the velocity of approach and use Francis formula.

6. A spillway controls a reservoir 4.6 hectares in area. The permanent crest is at an elevation
75m. If water can be drawn from elevation 76.5m to elevation 75.5 m in 42 minutes, find the
length of the spillway in meters. Use Francis Formula neglecting velocity of approach.

7. A suppressed weir is located in the end of a tank that is 3.05 m square. If the initial head on the weir is
0.610 m, how long will it take for 3.54 m3 of water to run out of the tank? (cw= 1.85)
