Question 22 / 33:  A sharp-crested, rectangular weir of length 18 ft and height of 1 ft exhibits a head of 3 inches of water. Calculate the water flow in ft3/s and assume that the head of velocity approach is small.
A  0.75 ft3/s
B  0.75 ft3/min
C  7.5 m3/hr
D  0.075 ft3/s
E  0.75 gal/min

Explanation:

This is the type of engineering calculation for which you are not expected to remember the formula. If you work with weirs everyday, you may learn to remember the formula. For this calculation, we simply refer to the Civil Engineering Portal resource on "Weirs" listed in section 2.3.1.and apply the appropriate formula, Q=0.333*(b -nh)*[(h+h0)(3/2)-h0(3/2)].
