Question: Water in a rectangular channel flows into a gradual contraction section as is indicated in Fig. P10.17. If the flowrate is (Q=25) (mathrm{ft}^{3} / mathrm{s})

Water in a rectangular channel flows into a gradual contraction section as is indicated in Fig. P10.17. If the flowrate is \(Q=25\) \(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\) and the upstream depth is \(y_{1}=2 \mathrm{ft}\), determine the downstream depth, \(y_{2}\).

Figure P10.17

b = 4 ft (1) Top view b = 3 ft V2

b = 4 ft (1) Top view b = 3 ft V2 2 V2 (2) Side view
