Question 564981: I am trying to solve this Problem. Please help. thank you.
The flow of water F in cubic feet per second over a wier, a small overflow dam, can be represented by F=1.26H2/3, where H is the height of the water in meters above the crest of the wier. Find the height of the water if the flow of the water is 10.08 cubic feet per second.

The flow of water F in cubic feet per second over a wier, a small overflow dam, can be represented by F=1.26H2/3, where H is the height of the water in meters above the crest of the wier.
Find the height of the water if the flow of the water is 10.08 cubic feet per
second
:
1.26H*2%2F3 = 10.8
multiply both sides by 3
1.26H(2) = 10.8*3
2.52H = 32.4
H = 32.4%2F2.52
H = 12.857 ~ 13 meters
