Question: Suppose that the side angles of the trapezoidal channel in Prob. 10.39 are reduced to 15° to avoid earth slides. If the bottom flat width

Suppose that the side angles of the trapezoidal channel in Prob. 10.39 are reduced to 15° to avoid earth slides. If the bottom flat width is 8 ft,
(a) Determine the normal depth and
(b) Compare the resulting wetted perimeter with the solution P = 24.1 ft from Prob. 10.39. (Do not reveal this answer to friends still struggling with
