Consider steady flow in a stream d=0.50 m deep and w = 3.0 m wide (“into the page"): The velocity distribution is u =Umax(1- h?/d²), where Umax = 0.20 m/s.

A few sample values are shown in the following table: Part A On the figure, sketch the velocity profile using the equation. No need to calculate points. Part B On the figure, sketch an approximation of the velocity profile. Split the cross-sectional area into two segments, and consider the average velocity for each. Part C Using your approximation, calculate the discharge Q [m³/s]. Part D Using your approximation, calculate the average velocity V [m³/s].
