A 5-m wide rectangular channel with two reaches, each with a different slope, conveys 40 m3/s of water. The channel slope for the first reach is 0.015 and then a sudden change to a slope of 0.0005. The Manning's n for the channel is 0.015. a.) What is the normal depth at the upstream reach? What is the normal depth on the downstream reach? b.) What is the critical depth? c.) Does a hydraulic jump occur in the channel? If there is a hydraulic jump, where does it occur on the first reach or the second reach? d.) Explain the terms hydraulic jump, normal depth, and critical depth.
