Question: A 1 0 m wide rectangular channel carries 1 6 . 0 m 3 / s and has a roughness coefficient of 0 . 0

A 10 m wide rectangular channel carries 16.0 m 3/s and has a roughness coefficient of 0.015 and a slope of 0.0016. If a 5 m
high dam is placed across the channel raising the water depth to 5.70 m at a location 5.0 m upstream from the dam,
determine the channel and flow classification (e.g., M 2, S 1, etc.) and explain your supporting logic. Then determine the
water surface profile upstream from the control section (where the depth is 5.70 m) by finding the depth of flow at
distances of 200,600,1,500, and 3,000 m upstream. Use a spreadsheet program or appropriate computer software to
perform the computations.
