Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 41P

In flowing from section (1) to section (2) along a rectangular open channel, the water depth decreases by a factor of three and the Froude number changes from a subcritical value of 0.7 to a supercritical value of 3.4. Determine the channel width at (2) if it is 8 ft. wide at section (1). Assume stead-state flow.
For an open channel having a trapezoidal section, the most efficient is the one whose shape is that of semi-regular hexagon. If such channel carries 4 m3/s of water flowing at 50 cm/s, the base width in meters is
At what depth will water flow in a 4 m wide rectangular channel if n=0.018, S0=0.0009, and Q=7m^3/s?
