Question: ( 1 0 points ) A rectangular canal has a channel slope of 0 . 0 1 5 with a bottom width of 2 m

(10 points) A rectangular canal has a channel slope of 0.015 with a bottom width of 2m and a Manning's n of 0.03. The channel carries a flow of 25m3s. Answer the following:
a. What is the normal depth of the flow in the channel? (3 points)
b. What is the critical depth of the flow in the channel? (2 points)
c. Classify the water surface profile of the channel if the depth of flow at the gaging station is 3.0m(2 points)
d. Compute the water surface slope (i.e.,dydx) at the gaging station (consider the relationship between dydx and y,yc and yn for the rectangular channels).(3 points)
( 1 0 points ) A rectangular canal has a channel
