In a rectangular channel, water flows at a flow rate of 15 m3 / s. The width of the canal is 4.0 m and the water depth is 2.5 m. Without causing the water in the blast to swell:
a) If the channel is narrowed without raising the channel base, what is the minimum value that the base width can take?
b) Find the maximum threshold height that can be placed on the base without changing the channel width.
c) If the threshold height is 50 cm, determine the depth and regime of the current on the threshold.
