Question: ( c ) Using the Manning Equation, ( V = frac { 1 } { n } m ^ { 2 / 3

(c) Using the Manning Equation, \( V=\frac{1}{n} m^{2/3} i^{1/2}\), design a rectangular channel in formed unfinished concrete, having a flow discharge of \(6\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{sec}\), a bed slope of \(1.2\%\) and normal depth equal to \(1/2\) the width of the channel. Use the table below to get the Manning's coefficient of roughness.
