9) A dam spillway of width 55m is to be designed with a head of 2.4m, followed by a stepped spillway, stilling basin and discharge channel. Find the maximum undistorted model scale if the laboratory discharge is limited to 20L/s. Oscillations in the laboratory stilling basin have a period of 120s; what is the period of the oscillations in the prototype? Derive the force scale. (Ans: Qp=348.5m²/s; 1:50, 849s; see notes)
