Question

I am looking at the solution to 5.1.1 in the Water resources engineering by Larry W Mays, My calculations do not yeld the same outcomes as the provided solution. Is there a mistake in this calculation? I get R = 9.59.

Expert Solution

Step 1

From the Water resources engineering by Larry W Mays

Solution 5.1.1

An 8-ft wide rectangular channel with a bed slope of 0.0004 ft/ft has a depth of flow of 2 ft. Assuming a steady uniform flow, determine the discharge in the channel. The Manning roughness coefficient is n = 0.015.

Given:

B = 8 ft

y = 2 ft

S_o = 0.0004

n = 0.015
