1. Water is flowing in a trapezoidal channel at a rate of Q 20 m'/s. The eritical depth y for such a channel must satisfy the equation 0 =1 B where g = 9.81 m/s², Aç = the cross-sectional area (m³), and B = the width of the channel at the surface (m). For this case, the width and the eross-sectional area can be related to depth y by B- 3+y and Ac = 3y - Solve for the critical depth using a. Bisection Method b.
