Question: ( a ) A trapezoidal channel, with a bottom width of B = 4 m and side siopes of 1 1 in 0 ls ,

(a) A trapezoidal channel, with a bottom width of B=4m and side siopes of 11 in 0ls, carries a fiom of 15m3s. The channel's slope and Manning's a are 0.001 and 0.012sm23 respectivel-
i) Determine the normal and critical depths.

ii) Classify the type of the bottom and the state of the flow (=umiform? Not umifemen Sub/supercritical? Drawdown/backwater?) when the water depth is 1.2 m .

(b) Sketch the water profiles in two prismatic channels below and point out profile types of gradually varied flows or hydraulic jumps.
i) Flow from a steep slope to a mild slope; supercritical upstream.

ii) On a steep slope, flow goes through a sluice gate. The surface at the back of the gate is above the critical depth and the surface at the opening of the gate is below the normal depth.
