In Question, if asked conjugate depth instead of alternate depth then the answer is 0.81m.

Y2 = 1/2 * Y1 * (((1+(8 * Fr^2))^0.5)-1).

Fr = (V/((gY1)^0.5)) = (6/((9.81*0.1)^0.5)) = 6.06
Y2 = 0.5 * 0.1*(((1+(8 * 6.06 * 6.06))^0.5)-1) = 0.808m
Y2 = 0.808m is approximately 0.81m.

@All.

According to me the solution is

q=v*y1 = 0.1*6 = .6 cubic meter per meter width.

Now use formula drive from equating specific energy at 1-1 section and 2-2 section.
q^2÷ 2g = y1^2 y2^2 ÷ (y one + y two) after solving y two= 1.93m.

Correct me if I am wrong.

y2/y1 = 1/2[-1+sqrt(1+8Fr2)].

The answer is "A" because on equating the equations E=Y+ (V)2/2g as a first equation and E=Y+(q/y)2/2g we get nearly .32.

Can anyone please explain this?

0.1/2*(√(1+8*Fr^2)-1) = 0.808.
fr = 6/√(9.81*0.1).

Fr = V/√(gL) = 6.

y2 = y1* 0.5* [ -1+ √( 1+8*Fr^2)].
y2 = 0.8 is the answer.

Here it is asking about alternate depth not sequent depth. For alternate depths, we have to equate specific energies at the two sections.

Can anyone explain how to calculate alternate depth for this numerical problem?
