Question 7 Consider flow in an open channel with slope 1:500 and a Manning's n of 0.030. The channel has a rectangular cross-section with a width of 5 m (a) Uniform flow in this channel has a depth of 1.6 m. What is the flowrate in the channel? (4 marks) (b) Suppose that this uniform flow (at point 1 in the figure below) encounters an obstacle on the channel bed (at point 2). How big would the obstacle need to...

(5) Water flows along a trapezoidal channel with base width B=1.5 m, side slope 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) and depth D=0.7 m. It is controlled downstream by a sharp crested weir that has a crest height of H=2.4 m above the channel bed and a crest width equal to that of the base width. Calculate the flow rate in the channel (check any assumptions you make).
