A navigation channel has a depth of 8 m. The bed of the channel is flat and comprised of sandy sediments which have a particle size distribution as shown in the figure and table below. Calculate the threshold depth-average current speed in the channel at which sediment transport will start. Assume the viscosity of water is 1.36 x 106m²s-1, the density of the grain is 2650 kg/m², the density of water is 1025 kg/m3, and gravity is 9.81 m/s2.
