A 5-m wide rectangular channel with two reaches, each with a different slope, conveys 40m3/s of water. The channel slope for the first reach is 0.0005 and then a sudden change to a slope of 0.015 so that critical flow occurs at the transition. Determine the depths of flow at locations 10 m, 20 m and 30 m upstream of the critical depth. The Manning’s n for the channel is 0.015.
