Given a wide rectangular channel with a width of 10 meters and a depth of 3 meters, determine the flow rate using Manning's equation if the channel is lined with smooth concrete (n = 0.012) and the slope is 0.001.
💡 Hint: Calculate the area and perimeter before plugging into Manning's equation.
A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 5m, side slopes of 2:1, and a depth of 2 meters. Calculate its Manning's roughness and how it impacts flow when the bottom opens up to flood plains with an 'n' of 0.030.
💡 Hint: Use geometric properties to ascertain area and perimeter before estimating 'Q'.
