Civil Engineering

A rectangular channel 2 m wide has a bottom slope of0.01 and a roughness
coefficient of 0.017. A sluice gate 2 m wide is located in thechannel. The sluice
gate has a contraction coefficient of 0.61 and a dischargecoefficient of 0.58. The
depth of water just upstream from the gate is 2 m. The depth ofwater just
downstream from the gate is 0.5 m. Determine how far upstream fromthe gate
the depth of water will be within 1% of the normal depth.
