![Prob. # 5 (a): In a partially flowing channel having a isosceles-triangular cross section as shown
below (Figure 5a), the rate of flow can be expressed as Q=KAR 2³, where k is a constant and A
and R are respectively cross sectional area and the hydraulic radius. Determine the depth at which
the discharge is maximum. For the channel, A= [B - (h/√3)]h, and P= B + (4h/3).
