Show hintHide hint
Recall the terms discussed in class.
3Question 3.
What type of flow has a gradual change in water depth?
- Uniform Flow

4Question 4.
True or False: Critical depth is always greater than normal depth.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationships between the two depths explained.
Question 5.
A river channel has a steep bed slope. How does the flow behave differently from a mild slope if both have the same flow rate?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the definitions of steep and mild slopes.
Question 6.
