5. A spillway discharges a flood flow at a rate of q = 7.75 m3/s per meter width. At the
downstream horizontal apron the depth of flow was found to be 0.50 m. What tail water depth,
y2 is needed to form a hydraulic jump? If a jump is formed, find its
(i) Type of jump,
(ii) Energy loss,
(iii) Percentage of energy loss to the initial energy
(iv) Power dissipated per meter width of the channel
