3.(30 Pts) A trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 10 meters and side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (m=2) has a Mannings n =0.022 and a channel slope So =0.003. The canal conveys a flow of 50 m3/s. A downstream weir creates a pool with a depth of 3.0 m.
a. What is the critical and normal depths in the canal
b. What kind of water surface profile (using the standard letter and number scheme) occurs where the canal approaches the pool
c. Using the direct step method, starting at the 3.0-meter depth, how far up stream (in meters) does the depth of 2.99 occur using a single step.
