To investigate the discharge-head characteristics of a rectangular and triangular weirs:
1. To observe characteristics of flow over a weir.
2. To determine the head-discharge relationship of two
different shapes of weirs, and to compare the experimental
results with their corresponding theoretical expressions.
3. Calculating the coefficient of discharge (Cd).

- Apparatus:
1.
1. Rectangular and triangular notches
2. Hydraulic bench.
3. Basket of glass spheres.

• Plot a graph of against for each weir.
• Measure the slopes and the intercepts.
• Calculate the coefficient of discharge from the intercept and confirm that the slope is approximately 2.5 for the rectangular notch and 1.5 for the triangular notch.
