ASSIGNMENT1 : TOPIC 2 1. Calculate the geometric elements of a semi-circular section with a cross-sectional area of 10.0 m2.

If a trapezoidal section with a 3.0 m bed width and 1:2 side slopes replaces the section, calculate the depth of flow(y), top width(B), hydraulic radius(R), hydraulic depth (D) and section factor (Z).

A triangular channel with slide slopes of 1:1.5 carries a discharge of 5 m3/s with a velocity of 0.98 m/s. Evaluate the geometric elements of the channel. Determine flow condition of this channel. A parabolic channel has 4 m top width and 2.5 m channel depth. The water in the channel is 1.75 m deep and is flowing at a rate of 21 m3 /s. Determine the area of flow, wetted perimeter, hydraulic radius, hydraulic depth and section factor. Is the flow laminar or turbulent if the water temperature is 20 C?
