Water discharges in too wide rectangular channel slope =0.01

Just apstream the weir where the water depth is 2.5m the flow rate is 5m ^ 3/s  As per meter width as shown below Assume n = 0.015 and neglected losses.

1. Find the normal depth, the critical depth and the critical slope?

2. Use the specific energy equation to find the weir height such that the flow over the wer is critical?

3. What water surface profile exists upstream the weir and locate the distance upstream the weit where the water depth equals the normal depth  ?
