Question
a. A rectangular channel is 4 m wide and has a
longitudinal slope of 0.002. The channel is poured
concrete and it is discharging a uniform flow at 25
m3/s. What is the normal depth? Use Table C-4 for
the roughness coefficient.

(¹) For air blown concrete, use n=0.012 (if troweled) and n=0.025 if purposely roughened.
Note: For channels with revetments or multiple lining types, use composite Manning roughness coefficient
based on component lining materials.
