The flow at the end of a 30-m-long side channel spillway is 36.0 m³/s. A 30-m-long overflow spillway, which is under a head of 0.736 m, contributes the flow to the side-channel spillway. If the side channel (n = 0.020) has a bottom width of 2.5 m and a bottom slope of %3D 0.01, determine the depth 10 m upstream from the end of the channel where it passes through critical depth.
