Question: Q E 1 - 0 1 : The flow Q ( m 3 s ) in an open channel is given with the Manning equation

Q E1-01: The flow Q(m3s) in an open channel is given with the Manning equation
Q=1nAcR23S12
where n= Manning roughness coefficient (a dimensionless number used to parameterize the channel friction),Ac= cross-sectional area of the channel (m2),S= channel slope (dimensionless, meters drop per meter length), and R= hydraulic radius (m), which is related to more fundamental parameters by R=AcP, where P= wetted perimeter (m). For trapezoidal channel as shown
Ac=By+zy2 and P=B+2y1+z22
Given the parameters n=0.035,B=10m,z=2,y=3m, and S=0.003, determine discharge Q in the channel by developing an algorithm in Octave.
Write and run the code in octave.
