Water flows from an under-sluice gate into a very wide rectangular channel. For a wide rectangular channel, the hydraulic radius is approximated as the depth of flow. Assume the channel with a bed slope of 1 in 1000. The sluice is regulated to discharge 10 m3/s/m, the depth at Vena-Contracta being 0.5 m. The slope of the energy line (Sf), is approximated by Mannings formula for gradually varied flow. Mannings n =0.015. i. Find the normal depth and critical depth ii. What is the type of bed slope? iii. Find the conjugate depth for the normal depth iv. Find the specific energies at Vena-Contracta and the location of conjugate depth v. Distance between the Vena-Contracta section and the section of conjugate depth (
