The rectangular channel shown in the following figure has a width of 11 ft and transports water at 19,939 ft^3/min. If the elevation of the channel bed drops by 0.75 ft, determine the specific energy (in ft) after the depression. Provide your answer with two decimals. Note: The solution method is the same as for a rise except the Ah term will be negative to account for the depression. y1 = 6ft, y2 is unknown, Ah = 0.75 ft.
