The rectangular channel shown in the following figure has a width of 11 ft and transports water at 19,939 ft^3/min. If the elevation of the channel bed drops by 0.75 ft, determine the specific energy (in ft) after the depression. Provide your answer with two decimals. Note: The solution method is the same as for a rise except the Ah term will be negative to account for the depression. y1 = 6ft, y2 is unknown, Ah = 0.75 ft.

Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
