Water is flowing in a trapezoidal channel at a rate of Q = 20 m³/s. The critical depth y for such a channel must satisfy the equation: 1 -3 B = 0 where g = 9.81 m/s?, Ac =the cross-sectional area (m?), and B = Q? the width of the channel at the surface (m). For this case, the width and the cross-sectional area can be related to depth y by B = 3 + y and A. = 3y +: Solve for the critical depth using bisection method using the initial guesses x = 0.5 and xu = 2.5.
