1) Rectangular concrete flume, 4m wide, carries water at the rate 5 cu.m/sec.

Determine the critical depth in m. Use g = 9.81.

Solution:
 2) The length of the crest of a trapezoidal weir is 2m. The sides are slopping at
75°57’49” with the horizontal. Find the discharge in cu.m/sec if the head on the weir
is 0.5m.

Solution:
 3) A trapezoidal flume of most efficient proportion has a base width of 1.5m. Its full
discharge is 3cu.m/sec. If the same material were used for the most efficient
rectangular section, by how much would the discharge decrease in cu.m/sec.

Solution:
 4) An open tank 1.82m. square, weighs 3425N and contains 0.91 m. of water. It is
acted by an unbalanced force of 10400 N parallel to a pair of  sides. What is the force
(N) acting in the side with the greatest depth?

Solution:
