Explanation:

According to Lacey's theory, following formulae has been given below:

  1. Hydraulic mean depth, \(R = \frac{5}{2}\frac{{{V^2}}}{f}\)
  2. Area of the channel section, \(A = \frac{Q}{V}\)
  3. Wetted perimeter, \(P = 4.75\sqrt Q \)
  4. Regime mean velocity, \(V = {\left( {\frac{{Q{f^2}}}{{140}}} \right)^{1/6}}\)
  5. Bed Slope, \(S = \frac{{{f^{5/3}}}}{{3340{Q^{1/6}}}}\)


Calculation:

\(P = 4.75\sqrt Q =4.75\sqrt 64 = 38 \;m\)
