Answer the following problems. Show your solution. Use yellow pad/s or long size bond bond paper. Draw the
illustration in each problems.

1. The discharge flowing in a trapezoidal canal is equal to to 30m³/s and a velocity of 1.2m/s.

a) What would be the width of the canal for a most efficient section?
b) If the width of the canal is 1.5 of its depth, compute the width of the canal if the sides are sloping at an angle
of 50°.

2. A rectangular flume of most efficient proportion has a base of 3m. It is laid on a slope s, roughness coefficient n,
and discharge of 3 cu.m. / s when flowing full. If the same material were used for the most efficient trapezoidal section,
by how much would the discharge be increased?
