Question
The rectangular channel shown in the following figure has a width of 10 ft and transports water at 19,229 ft3/min. If the elevation of the channel bed drops by 0.75 ft, determine the specific energy (in ft) after the depression. Provide your answer with two decimals. Note: The solution method is the same as for a rise except the Δh term will be negative to account for the depression.
The image depicts a side view of fluid flow in a channel. The diagram includes two sections with differing depths.

1. **Left Section:**
   - The fluid depth is labeled as 6 feet.
   - The bed width at the base of this section is 0.75 feet.

2. **Right Section:**
   - The fluid depth is represented by \( y_2 \) (exact value not specified).

3. **Arrows:**
   - A green arrow indicates the direction of the fluid flow from left to right.

The diagram illustrates the variation in water depth as it moves through a channel, useful for discussing principles of fluid dynamics, such as flow rate and continuity.
