In-class gradually-varied flow problem (subcritical)
A grouted-riprap, trapezoidal channel \((\mathrm{n}=0.0252)\) with a bottom width of \(4[\mathrm{~m}\)] and side slopes of \(\mathrm{m}=1\) carries a discharge 12.5[cms] on a 0.001 slope. Compute the backwater curve (upstream water surface profile) created by a low dam that backs water up to a depth of 2[m] immediately behind the dam.
1 Numeric 1 point
What is the water depth in [m] at a distance of 1000[m] upstream of the dam?
\[
1.70
\]
2
What is the water surface elevation in [m] at a distance 1000[m] upstream of the dam? (Assume here that the elevation of the channel bottom is 0[m] at the dam).
\[
2.70
\]
3
At what distance upstream of the dam does the water depth fall within \(1\%\) of the normal depth (i.e.\(0.99 h_{n}
