Head loss in Reach Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Head loss in Reach?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

h l = Z 1 + y 1 + (\frac{{V 1}^{2}}{2 \cdot g}) - Z 2 - y 2 - \frac{{V 2}^{2}}{2 \cdot g}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

h l = 11.5m + 14m + (\frac{{10m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8m/s²}) - 11m - 13m - \frac{{9m/s}^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8m/s²}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

h l = 11.5 + 14 + (\frac{10^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8}) - 11 - 13 - \frac{9^{2}}{2 \cdot 9.8}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

h l = 2.46938775510204m

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

h l = 2.4694m
