Question: 2 . ( 1 5 pts ) A proposed bridge crossing has a trapezoidal channel approach section with a bottom width of 1 0 feet

2.(15 pts) A proposed bridge crossing has a trapezoidal channel approach section with a bottom width of 10 feet and 3horizontal:1vertical side slopes with an estimated flow depth of 4 feet for the 200 ft3/s design flood event. The channel through the bridge opening is a rectangular channel section. Assuming a smooth, horizontal transition with no losses, what is the minimum bridge opening width that will not increase the upstream flow depth.
