Fluid Dynamics Calculations

1. The document presents the solution to a hydraulics problem involving flow rate, velocity, depth, and energy calculations for a channel. 2. Key values calculated include a flow rate of 12 ft3/s, mean velocity of 3.058 ft/s, mean depth of 4.197 ft, and loss of head of 49.109 ft. 3. A second problem involves similar calculations in metric units, finding a mean velocity of 0.195 m/s and change in elevation of -5,424.06 m.
