Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 48P
For a trapezoidal shaped channel with n = 0.014 and slope Sb = 0.0002 with a 20-ft bottom width and side slopes of 1 vertical to 1.5 horizontal, determine the normal depth for a discharge of 1000 cfs.

A trapezoidal open-channel (n=0.015) has a side slope of 5H:2V and a bottom width of 2.5m. The flow depth is 1.5m when the slope is 0.002. Determine the volumetric flowrate.
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.
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?
