What is the maximum constriction before the depth

Reference no: EM13563810

A river upstream of a brdige corssing is 3 meters deep and has an average velocity of 3 m/s. The bridge piers cause a constriction in the width of the flow by 12%.

(a) Assuming a horizontal riverbed and ignoring energy losses, determine the water depth in the bridge constriction.

(b) What is the maximum constriction before the depth of the upstream flow is increased?
