Question: Determine the peak flow using the rational method from 2 years - storm for the drainage basin ( 5 5 acres in New Jersey )

Determine the peak flow using the rational method from 2 years-storm for the drainage basin (55 acres in New Jersey) having a runoff coefficient of 0.35 and the following hydraulic path:
Overland flow: average grass, 80ft long, 2% average slope
Shallow concentrated flow (unpaved): 450ft long, 5% average slope
Channel flow: 339ft long, 1.9% average slope and n=0.03
Determine the peak flow using the rational method
