Consider the channel with a trapezoid shape
cross-section. The bottom width is b= 2 m, the
depth is h 2 m and the slope of the nide walls is
p-1.5. The length of the channel is L 1.5 km and the difference between the bottom elevation at
the two sections is dh 105 cm. The slope of the channel is constant in space. Determine the
smoothness coefficient (ke?) if the bankfull flow is Q 10 m/s?
