Question: A model is built to study flow in a stream segment. The stream has an average depth of 1.2 feet and is roughly 20 feet

A model is built to study flow in a stream segment. The stream has an average depth of 1.2 feet and is roughly 20 feet wide with a flow' rate of 94.6 cfs. An undistorted model with a 1:100 scale is constructed to study the velocity-slope relationship. If the reach has a Manning's coefficient of 0.045, what is the model values of roughness and velocity?
