Question: ( 2 0 pts . ) A natural earthen channel that is straight and in good condition that can be approximated with a trapezoidal shape

(20 pts.) A natural earthen channel that is straight and in good condition that can be approximated with a trapezoidal shape has a bottom width of 10.0ft with side slopes on the left side of 2.5H to 1V and on the right side of 3H to 1V(two different side slopes) carries a discharge of 250cfs for a 15-year design storm. The channel slope is 0.0018ftft. Determine the following:
a) Normal Depth =
b) Critical Depth =2.19ft
c) Critical Slope =0.0082ftft
d) Froude number =0,49
f) What is the flow type? subcritical flow
answers should be next to the questions (except normal depth). need steps to get to the answers.
