Question: 5 . 2 A rectangular channel, 5 m wide, carries a flow of 2 0 m 3 / s . The slope of the channel

5.2A rectangular channel, 5 m wide, carries a flow of 20 m3/s. The slope of the channel S0=0.005 m/m and Mannings n is 0.030. The flow encounters a step of height 0.50 m. The depths far upstream and downstream of the step are equal to the normal depth, y0.
a) Calculate y0.
b)Determine if the reach is mild, steep, or critical.
c)Sketch all profiles both upstream and downstream of the obstructions.
d)On your sketch, indicate the upstream and downstream depths of each profile you draw and provide supporting calculations.
e)Sketch the cycle of points on the Ey diagram for each of the upstream and downstream depths identified in part (d) and label sections of the cycle that correspond to any surface water profiles, jumps, or in-stream obstructions.
5.5For the step and flow conditions specified in Problem 5.2, design an equivalent:
Sluice gate opening
Constriction
