Problem-3
The water flowrate, Q in an open rectangular channel is a function of
height, H, the channel width, b, and gravity, g. In a lab test it was determined that if b = 3 ft
= 1.96 ft/s. Take H and g as repeating variables to determine an
equation for the flowrate if it known that Q is directly proportional to the channel width, b.
and H = 4 in., then Q
