A rectangular channel 5.0 m wide carries a specific discharge of 4.0
/s. A hydraulic jump is fixed in a certain position by placing concrete blocks as shown in Figure P13.26. The initial depth of the jump is 0.5 m. Determine the force acting on the blocks if the depth of water after the jump is 2.0 m. In case that the concrete blocks are removed, what is the new water depth?
