Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rectangular canal has a width of 10m and carries water at 2m depth with a velocity of 4m/s. Calculate the Froude number and classify the flow.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for Froude number mentioned earlier.

Question 2

In a hydraulic jump scenario, if upstream velocity is 5 m/s and downstream field has flow depth of 1.5 m, determine the energy loss if initial depth was 3m.

💡 Hint: Remember the specific energy formula and how to find velocity at downstream.
