The sluice gate in Fig P3.63 can control and measure flow in open channels. At sections 1 and 2, the flow is uniform and the pressure is hydrostatic. The channel width is b into the paper. Neglecting bottom friction, derive an expression for the force F required to hold the gate. For what condition h2/h1 is the force largest? For very low velocity 2 V1
