Water is flowing in a weedy excavated earth channel of trapezoidal cross section with a bottom width of 0.8 m, trapezoid angle of 50° and a bottom slope angle of 0.5°. (a) If the flow depth is measured to be 0.52 m, determine the flow rate of water through the channel. (b) What would the flow depth be if the bottom angle were 1°. (note: a = 1 m1/3 /s and the manning coefficient for a weedy excavated earth channel is 0.03) V = 2/31/2 R₁==b+y/tan 6) 2y/sin 8 (b) Trapezoidal channel. I b P
