(15 Points) A channel has a trapezoidal cross-section, with a width of 40 feet across the top
and a maximum depth of 6 ft . The inclination on the side of the channel is 25. You are
interested in estimating the velocity of water flowing in the channel. According to the
empirical Manning's Formula, the velocity V=CnR23S12, where n is a roughness
coefficient, S is the slope along the axis of the channel, C is a constant that depends on units,
and R is the hydraulic radius of the channel. Manning defined the hydraulic radius as the
cross-sectional area divided by the length of the wetted perimeter. Draw a sketch of the
problem. Determine the hydraulic radius.
