Q2. (a) A hydraulic jump is designed to occur at downstream of a sluice gate in a rectangular channel. The channel carries water with a discharge of 3.5 m³/s and a conjugate depth ratio of 4.25. If the supercritical flow depth is 0.29 m, determine the channel width.

Q2. (a) A hydraulic jump is designed to occur at downstream of a sluice gate in a
rectangular channel. The channel carries water with a discharge of 3.5 m³/s
and a conjugate depth ratio of 4.25. If the supercritical flow depth is 0.29 m,
determine the channel width.
(b) The bed slope of a wide rectangular channel changes from mild to steep. On
the mild slope, water flows uniformly with a discharge rate of 6.65 m³/s.m,
a Manning's n of 0.014 and a bed slope of 0.0005. Compute the distance
from the place where the slope changes to a place upstream where the depth
is normal depth, yo. Use numerical integration method in your computations
and divide the range of depth into 3 equal parts.
