Problem

A 1 : 20 scale model of a spillway is built for hydraulic studies. When the model operates, the water depth at a certain section is 0.06 m and the flow velocity is 1.8 m/s. Under dynamically similar (gravity-controlled) conditions, what depth and velocity would be expected at the corresponding section in the actual spillway? a) 0.06 m and 8.1 m/s0.06\,\text{m and } 8.1\,\text{m/s} b) 1.2 m and 36 m/s1.2\,\text{m and } 36\,\text{m/s} c) 1.2 m and 8.1 m/s1.2\,\text{m and } 8.1\,\text{m/s} d) 1.2 m and 0.09 m/s1.2\,\text{m and } 0.09\,\text{m/s}
