Question: 3 . 2 8 . A bridge has piers 2 ft wide at ( 2 0 - mathrm { ft } )

3.28. A bridge has piers 2 ft wide at \(20-\mathrm{ft}\) centers. A short distance upstream the depth of the river is 10 ft and its velocity \(10\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{sec}\). Assuming that the piers have a drag coefficient, as defined by Eq.(1-22), of (a)1.5,(b)2.0(with \( A \) and \( v \) based on the upstream flow) find the depth when the flow has gone far enough downstream for the local disturbances caused by the piers to be evened out. Neglect the bed slope and bed resistance.
