Determine the discharge.arrow_forwardA storm drainage channel has the shape shown in Figure 5. It is made of unfinished concrete and has a slope of 0.5 percent. During normal times, water remains only in the small rectangular section. When there is a big rainfall, the upper section allows large volumes to be carried by the channel. a.
