Q2 In a transition from a rectangular channel (2.5m wide, 2m deep) to a trapezoidal channel (bottom width 4m, side slopes 2 on 1, depth 1.3m) the energy loss is equal to 0.4 times the difference between velocity heads. The discharge is 5.8m³/s: (i) determine the difference between the elevations of the upstream and downstream channel bed surfaces. [6] (ii) plot a sketch of the side channel transition and the water surface elevation profile. [4]
