Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rectangular channel carries water at a velocity of 3 m/s with a flow depth of 2 m. Calculate the specific energy and Froude number. Based on these, determine if the flow is subcritical, critical, or supercritical.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to calculate gravity as 9.81 m/s².

Question 2

In a trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 5 m, side slopes of 1:3, and a flow depth of 2 m, calculate the wetted perimeter and the hydraulic radius.

💡 Hint: Make sure to visualize the trapezoidal shape when calculating.
