Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 53P

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.
Consider the same rectangular channel as in the previous problem (4.0 m wide, filled with water to 6.0 m, and walls of corrugated metal). If the slope is 0.65°, estimate the volume flow rate of the water.
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?
