1. In a horizontal rectangular open channel 20 m wide the water depth is 9 m. When a smooth hump 1.5 m high is introduced in the channel floor, a drop of 1 m is produced in the water surface. What is the flow rate, neglecting energy losses? It is proposed to place a pier at the centre of this channel on the hump. Determine the maximum width of this pier if it is not to cause any backwater effects. (Ans. 832.52 m/s, 0.61 m)
