1. A rectangular channel 1.8 m wide conveys water at a
depth of 1.2 m.
A. UNIFORM FLOW
a. What is the velocity of flow if it is laid on a slope
- the same depth, cross sectional area and velocity for
of 0.002 and n= 0.012?
a length of flow
b. What is the discharge if the channel slopes 0.1°
- the channel bed is parallel to the egl.
and n = 0.016? Use Kutter’s formula for C.
c. What is the velocity of flow if S = 0.000263 and f
= 0.02?

2. The figure shows a natural channel flow consisting of the
main channel and two equal flood plains on the sides.
Assume the slope of the channel is 0.0002, n=0.02 for the
main and n=0.04 for the flood plains.
a. What is the estimated discharge in the main
channel?
b. What is the total discharge?
c. If the total discharge is to be contained in an
asphalt-lined semicircular channel with n=0.016,
what diameter is required?
