Trapezoidal channel section

Problem

A most efficient trapezoidal section is required to give a maximum discharge of 21.5 m3/s of
water. The slope of the channel bottom is 1 in 2500. Taking C = 70 m1/2/s in Chezy’s equation, determine the
dimensions of the channel. Also determine the value of Manning’s n, taking the value of velocity of flow as
obtained for the channel by Chezy’s equation.
