Question:

Water flows at a rate of 22.8 m3/sec in a trapezoidal, riprap-lined channel (n = 0.04) with a bottom width of 3 m, side slopes of 2: 1 (H: V), and a bottom slope of 0.005. At a certain location. the bottom slope increases to 0.022, but the dimensions of the channel remain the same. Determine the channel and flow classification (e.g., M-3, S-2) just upstream of the break in slope. Explain your supporting logic.
