1.) A 40-ft wide rectangular channel carries 950 ft3/sec at a depth of 6 ft. If n = 0.025, what must the channel slope be in order to produce uniform flow at the 6-ft depth? Is this flow subcritical or supercritical? What is the critical slope that would cause the flow to just flip to the other flow profile (subcritical → supercritical or supercritical → subcritical)? 2.) Continuing with Problem 1:a. What is the alternate flow depth? (hint: in Problem 1 you should have found that flow was subcritical, so now you're finding the supercritical flow depth)b. What is the critical rise of the surface bed (Δzcrit) that would just cause the flow to flip to supercritical?c. What is the critical width (bcrit) of a throat in a contraction of the channel that would just cause the flow to switch to supercritical? Please answer the second problem
