A trapezoidal channel is designed for a uniform flow of 170 cfs. The channel has 8 ft bottom width and a side slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. If the channel longitudinal slope is 0.001, what will be the normal depth? The channel material is asphaltic concrete. Use Table C-4 for the roughness coefficient.

A trapezoidal channel is designed for a uniform flow of 170 cfs. The channel has 8 ft bottom width and a side slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. If the channel longitudinal slope is 0.001, what will be the normal depth? The channel material is asphaltic concrete. Use Table C-4 for the roughness coefficient.
