Repeat Problem 13–90 for the case of an initial water depth of 0.75 m instead of 1.25 m.


Data from Problem 13–90

Consider a wide rectangular water channel with a per-unit-width flow rate of 5m3/s·m and a Manning coefficient of n = 0.02. The channel is comprised of a 100 m length having a slope of S01 = 0.01 followed by a 100 m length having a slope of S02 = 0.02.

(a) Calculate the normal and critical depths for the two channel segments. 

(b) Given an initial water depth of 1.25 m, calculate and graph the water surface profile over the full 200 m extent of the channel. Also classify the two channel segments (M1, A2, etc.).
