Question:

Consider gradually varied flow of water in a 20-ft wide rectangular channel with a flow rate of 300 ft3/s and a Manning coefficient of 0.008. The slope of the channel is 0.01, and at the location x = 0, the mean flow speed is measured to be 5.2 ft/s. Determine the classification of the water surface profile, and, by integrating the GVF equation numerically, calculate the flow depth y at

(a) x = 500 ft, 

(b) 1000 ft, 

(c) 2000 ft.
