Consider the flow of water through a 12-ft-wide unfinished-concrete rectangular channel with a bottom slope of 0.5°. If the flow rate is 300 ft3/s, determine if the slope of this channel is mild, critical, or steep. Also, for a flow depth of 3 ft, classify the surface profile while the flow develops.
