Question: A rectangular channel with a bottom width b 1 = 5 . 0 ft transitions to a downstream trapezoidal channel with a bottom width b

A rectangular channel with a bottom width b1=5.0 ft transitions to a
downstream trapezoidal channel with a bottom width b2=7.5 ft and
side slopes m2=2. The transition bottom drops 1 ft from the rectangular upstream channel to the downstream trapezoidal channel. The flow rate
Q =25 ft3/s, the upstream flow depth y1=2.0 ft and the downstream
flow depth y2=2.2 ft. Calculate the head loss through the transition
