Water flows under a sluice gate on a horizontal bed at the inlet to a flume. Upstream

Question:

Water flows under a sluice gate on a horizontal bed at the inlet to a flume. Upstream from the gate, the water depth is 1.5 ft and the speed is negligible. At the vena contracta downstream from the gate, the flow streamlines are straight and the depth is 2 in. Determine the flow speed downstream from the gate and the discharge in cubic feet per second per foot of width.
