Question: An 8-ft-diameter concrete drainage pipe that flows half full is to be replaced by a concrete-lined V-shaped open channel having an interior angle of (90^{circ}).

An 8-ft-diameter concrete drainage pipe that flows half full is to be replaced by a concrete-lined V-shaped open channel having an interior angle of \(90^{\circ}\). Determine the depth of fluid that will exist in the V-shaped channel if it is laid on the same slope and carries the same discharge as the drainage pipe.
