Question: The cross section of a rough, rectangular, concrete channel measures 6 times 6 ft . The channel slope is 0 . 0 2 ft

The crosssection of a rough, rectangular, concrete channel measures 6\times 6 ft. The channel slope
is 0.02 ft/ft. The channel is designed to maintain one foot of freeboard (freeboard is the vertical
distance from the water surface to the overtopping level of the channel). For these conditions,
find the following characteristics. (Assume a water temperature of 70F)
a. Discharge (cfs)
b. Flow area (sf)
c. Wetted perimeter (ft)
d. Hydraulic radius (ft)
e. Velocity (fps)
f.
Reynolds Number
g. Froude number
