The trapezoidal channel below must maintain a discharge of Q = 20 × SN (m³/s). You may assume that the channel slope is negligible. Use MS Excel spreadsheet to plot the specific energy curve and determine the critical depth De. Hint: You should first set up a column of normal depth D (m) ranging from 0 to SN, and then calculate the area (A), velocity (V), energy (E) and Froude number (Fr).
