Question: Example 4 - 4 : A trapezoidal channel with a longitudinal slope of So = 0 . 0 0 5 is made of fine finished

Example 4-4: A trapezoidal channel with a longitudinal slope of So =0.005 is made of fine finished concrete, n1, and rock cuts, n2, and carries a discharge of 15 m3/s. The sidewall slope of the channel is 1V:1H and the bottom width is 6 m. Calculate:
a) normal depth in the channel, yn;
b) Froude number, F.
Note: Use Felkel formula to calculate the equivalent Mannings coefficient.
Assume the cannel wall are made of rock cuts to calculate the initial depth of yno and continue the calculations for two iterations.
