A rectangular channel 6 m wide with a depth of flow of 3 m has a mean velocity of 1.5 m/s. The channel undergoes a smooth, gradual contraction to a width of 4.5 m.

(a) Calculate the depth and velocity in the contracted section.
(b) Calculate the net fluid force on the walls and floor of the contraction in the flow direction.
In each case, identify any assumptions made.

Depth in the contracted section = 2.896m

Velocity in the contracted section = 2.072m/s

Explanation:

Please see that attachment for the solving.

Assumptions:

1. Negligible head losses

2. Horizontal channel bottom

unlike the threaded fasteners which are used to clamp the machine members, power screws are used to transmit power. common applications of power screws are: screw jacks: to lift weight. lead screw of lathe: for axial movement of tool and its precise positioning.
