same at points 1 and 2Question 6. The triangular weir (or the V-notched weir) has an advantage over other weirshapes because the V shape a) creates a larger and measurable H at small Q b) increases the pressure forces right on the weir c) causes more head loss at the weir d) creates a smaller and measurable H at small QQuestion 8. Consider the energy diagram below for a short section. How would youexplain the phenomena where E1=E2? E1 is energy at water depth y1 and E2 is at waterdepth y2. y y2 y1 E1=E2 E a) velocity head at 1 is much greater than velocity head at 2, and pressure head at 2 is much greater than

on a topic oftheir choice related to sustainability. This assignment was designed to evaluate students’performance towards objectives #1 and #7 and to provide an opportunity for students to work indiverse teams, perform independent research, prepare a report, and present their results. Eachteam was asked to submit a 10-12 page report of their findings and to prepare a 15-minutepresentation (including Q&A) to be delivered in the class. Page 14.1110.8The following topics were chosen by the 9 student teams: ocean/wave energy, water resourcesand pollution, sustainable cities, solar energy, trash incinerator power plant
