Question 1(35 marks)
A rectangular channel is 5m wide with two reaches with slopes of 0.01 for the first reach and then a sudden change to a slope of 0.001 for the second reach. This channel carries a flow of 80m3s and has a Manning's roughness (n) of 0.015.
a) What is the at normal depth yn at each slope of the channel?
b) What is the critical depth of this channel yc?
