Question: The cross - section of a rough, rectangular, concrete ( k = 0 . 2 X 1 0 ^ - 2 ft ) channel measures

The cross-section of a rough, rectangular, concrete (k =0.2 X 10^-2 ft) channel measures 6x6 ft. The channel slope is 0.02 ft/ft. Using the Manning's equation, determine the maximum allowable flow rate through the channel to maintain one foot of freeboard (freeboard is the vertical distance from the water surface to the overtopping level of the channel). Assume water is 20 degrees Celsius. For these conditions, find the following characteristics.
A. Flow area
B. Wetter perimeter
C. Hydraulic radius
D. Velocity
E. Froude number
