Manning's equation can be used to compute the velocity of water in a rectangular open channel:

where U = velocity (m/s), S = channel slope, n = roughness coefficient, B = width (m), and H = depth (m). The follow­ing data are available for five channels:

Write an M-file that computes the velocity for each of these channels. Enter these values into a matrix where each col­umn represents a parameter and each row represents a chan­nel. Have the M-file display the input data along with the computed velocity in tabular form where velocity is the fifth column. Include headings on the table to label the columns.
