Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 21P
At a section of a 10-ft-wide rectangular channel, the depth is 0.3 ft for a discharge of 20 ft3/s. A smooth bump 0.1 ft high is placed on the floor of the channel. Determine the local change in flow depth caused by the bump.

Water at 15°C is flowing uniformly in a 2-m-wide rectangular channel at an average velocity of 1.5 m/s. If the water depth is 24 cm, determine whether the flow is subcritical or supercritical.
Water flows uniformly half-full in a 2-m-diameter circular channel that is laid on a grade of 1.5 m/km. If the channel is constructed of finished concrete, determine the flow rate of the water.
Water flows steadily in a 1.75-m-wide rectangular channel at a rate of 0.85 m3/s. If the flow depth is 0.40 m, determine the flow velocity and if the flow is subcritical or supercritical. Also determine the alternate flow depth if the character of flow were to change.
