(a) Find the volumetric and mass rates of bed load transport per unit width of channel in a rectangular irrigation canal 12 m wide with bed slope 1:1000 and dso=6

mm.The flow rate in the canal is 25 m/s, particle and water densities are 2650 kg/m and 1000 kg/m³ respectively, and the critical Shields' parameter is assumed to be0.05. Use the Meyer-Peter and Muller formula in your calculations.
