![A rectangular channel with bed width of 3 m and slope 0.02% carries a discharge of 20 m/s.
Surface of the OCF has Manning's roughness coefficient as n=0.02 s/m/3. At one point there is a
localized narrowing that decreases the width to 2 m. Determine the water depths at the narrow
point and at stations just up and downstream of the contracted section, if the channel bed in the
contracted section is:
(a) the same as the main channel;
(b) raised by 0.75 m;
(c) lowered by 0.75 m.
You may assume no hydraulic jump occurs immediately downstream of the narrow section.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9de751ce-d0b4-477e-8168-a98ebf0c920e%2F06cbfc33-e4f1-42ca-a5bb-1f819fc732c0%2Fl5habot_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
