PROBLEM. 3 A rectangular cross-section stream has a depth of h = 3 m, cross-section area of 200 m², and a discharge of 100 m³/s with bottom slope of 0.0001. The density and kinematic viscosity of water in the stream are p = 999.1 kg/m³and v= 1.14×106 m²/s. The bed sediment material is of quartz sand and the sieve diameters are d35= 0.25 mm and das = 0.5 mm. The specific gravity of the quartz sediment particles is 2.65. The stream has bed forms (note that in the solution of the problem if you like you can also make use of the Vanoni-Brooks diagram). Find the total shear stress at the bed of the stream.
