The flowrate in the clay-lined channel \((n=0.025)\) shown in Fig. P10.54 is to be \(300 \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\). To prevent erosion of the sides, the velocity must not exceed \(5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\). For this maximum velocity, determine the width of the bottom, \(b\), and the slope, \(S_{0}\).
