Question: Spillway capacity. Civil engineers use the form

\[Q=3.32 L H^{3 / 2}\]

to find the maximum discharge that the dam (a 1 crested weir) shown in the figure can pass before water breaches its abutments. In the formula \(Q\) is the in cubic feet per second, \(L\) is the length of the \(s\) in feet, and \(H\) is the depth of the spillway. Find that \(L=60\) feet and \(H=5\) feet. Find \(H\) given \(Q=3000\) cubic feet per second and \(L=70\,\text{feet}\)
