Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a rectangular channel with a depth of 0.5 m and a width of 3 m, if the velocity is 8 m/s, calculate the head loss if sequent depth after a jump is 1.5 m.
💡 Hint: Remember the sequential relationship and apply the formulas strategically to find each value step by step.
In a problem where water depth at point A is 0.25 m and at point B is 1 m, find the energy loss if the velocity at A is 4 m/s and at B is 1.6 m/s.
💡 Hint: Notice how the energy shifts from one point to another; energy loss is critical to understand jumps in fluid dynamics.
