Solution: Hydraulics II CH - 1 Illustrative Problems

The document contains 4 illustrative problems about calculating discharge and critical depth for steady flow through channels of different cross-sectional shapes including rectangular, trapezoidal, and compound channels. Problem 1 involves calculating discharge through a channel and floodway. Problem 2 involves calculating normal depth and critical depth for a rectangular channel given the discharge and slope. Problem 3 determines the cross-section of greatest hydraulic efficiency for a trapezoidal channel. Problem 4 computes the critical depth for a compound channel cross-section.
