Solution :

Given :

Discharge ,Q=17.93 m3/s

Depth before jump, d1=0.8 m

Taking width, b=1 m,

we get Discharge per unit width,

q=17.931=17.93

Let

d2= Depth after jump and

hL= Loss of energy.

we get

d2=d12+d214+2q2gd1=0.82+0.824+2×17.9329.81×0.8=0.4+0.16+81.927=0.4+9.06=8.66 m

for loss of energy,

hL=(d2d1)34d1d2=(8.660.8)34×0.8×8.66=17.52 m
