b) The normal depth of flow in a 5.0 m wide rectangular channel shown in Figure 3 below is
1.0 m. The channel is laid at a slope of Im/km and has Manning's n of 0.02. Calculate the
discharge and velocity in this channel associated with normal flow conditions.
c) At a point downstream of that in part (b) above, there is a weir, Az is 0.5 m in height. If the
section properties of the channel remains the same as in part (b), determine yı the depth of
flow just before the weir. Assume negligible headloss across the weir and critical flow occurs
over the weir. (yı lies between 1.2- 1.3 m)
