Question: In flowing from section (1) to section (2) along an open channel, the water depth decreases by a factor of 2 and the Froude number

In flowing from section (1) to section (2) along an open channel, the water depth decreases by a factor of 2 and the Froude number changes from a subcritical value of 0.5 to a supercritical value of 3.0. Determine the channel width at (2) if it is \(12 \mathrm{ft}\) wide at (1).
