a water resource engineer is in charge of designing atrapezoidal open channel for flood control. Typically, these types of channels are made ofconcrete. Use Manning’s Equation.Flowrate (Qb), channel slope (S0), bottom width (Bw), channel sidewall angle (θ), actual depth(y), and Manning’s coefficient (n) are tabulated below. State all assumptions. * z is the sidewall ratio: for every 1 unit increase in depth, the top width increases by z on eachside of the channel, or 2z total.A) Given the actual depth, y = 1.25 ft, find the discharge Qa.B) Find the Critical Depth, yc, for the discharge Qa found in (a).
