Question

Refer to the channel cross section shown in problem 7 in ch 6. If the channel slope is 1.75% and the lining is concrete (trowel finish) what is the disharge and velocity?

**Educational Content on Open Channel Flow**

**Diagrams and Questions:**

The image provides two detailed diagrams of trapezoidal channels, along with related questions for calculating various hydraulic parameters.

**Diagram 1:**

- **Channel Dimensions:**
  - Bottom width: 2 feet
  - Side slope dimensions: 3 units horizontally to 1 unit vertically
  - Normal depth: 3.0 feet

**Problems for Diagram 1:**
1. **What is the normal depth?**  
   - The normal depth is given as 3.0 feet.
2. **What is the cross-sectional area of flow?**
3. **What is the wetted perimeter?**
4. **What is the hydraulic radius?**

**Diagram 2:**

- **Channel Dimensions:**
  - Bottom width: 4.00 feet
  - Side slopes: 2 horizontal to 1 vertical
  - Normal depth: 5.0 feet
  - Includes additional measurement points marked as: 
    - Width (from bottom to edge): 0.5 feet horizontally and 1 foot vertically

**Problems for Diagram 2:**
1. **What is the cross-sectional area of flow?**
2. **What is the wetted perimeter?**
3. **What is the hydraulic radius?**

*Students are encouraged to use these measurements to calculate hydraulic properties, crucial for understanding water flow through open channels.*
