A hydraulic jump is a rather sudden change in depth of a liquid layer as it flows in an open channel as shown in Fig. P4.22 and Videos V10.11 and 10.12. In a relatively short distance (thickness = l) the liquid depth changes from z₁ to z₂, with a corresponding change in velocity from V₁ to V₂. If V₁ = 5 m/s, V₂ = 1 m/s, and l = 0.2 m, estimate the average deceleration of the liquid as it flows across the hydraulic jump. How many g’s deceleration does this represent?
