1.The slope of a 12 inch wide rectangular channel changes from 3% to an unknown slope. A hydraulic jump forms in the area where the slope changes. The depth of the upstream flow is 2 feet and its velocity is 30 ft/s. Determine the slope of the downstream portion of the channel.
2.A 40 kg load is placed 3 m from a fulcrum. If an effort force is applied at a distance of 2 m, how much force is required to life the load to a horizontal balance? How could you reduce the required effort force? Are there any additional considerations as a result of that change?
