A trapezoidal channel carrying 280 cfs has a bottom width of 12 ft, side slope of 2 and a longitudinal bottom slope of 0.001. The critical depth is 2.25 ft and the normal depth is 2.78. The flow depth at the downstream end of this channel is 3.12 ft. Determine which of the statements below is correct.
Select one:
a.
The flow depth decreases in the flow direction.
b.
None of the above.
c.
A flow depth of 2.55 ft will not occur in this channel.
d.
If the channel is very long, a hydraulic jump will occur.
