The depths of water upstream and downstream from a hydraulic jump on the horizontal apron downstream from

Question:

The depths of water upstream and downstream from a hydraulic jump on the horizontal "apron" downstream from a spillway structure are observed to be approximately \(3 \mathrm{ft}\) and \(8 \mathrm{ft}\). If the structure is \(200 \mathrm{ft}\) long (perpendicular to the direction of flow), about how much horsepower is being dissipated in this jump?
