Question 4 A rectangular channel carries water at a depth of 0.6 m. The channel has a poor alignment with a bed that is covered with stone with a range of sizes from 75 mm to 150 mm in diameter. From a practical perspective, such a channel bed will exhibit varying Manning's values as the discharge varies. For the purpose of this exam, take the range of Manning n values from 0.040 to 0.080.
