Answer:
(a) V = 0.75 m/s
(b) V = 0.125 m/s
Explanation:
The speed of the flow of the river can be given by following formula:
V = Q/A
V = Q/w d
where,
V = Speed of Flow of River
Q = Volume Flow Rate of River
w = width of river
d = depth of river
A = Area of Cross-Section of River = w d
(a)
Here,
Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s
w = 20 m
d = 20 m
Therefore,
V = (300 m³/s)/(20 m)(20 m)
<u>V = 0.75 m/s</u>
<u></u>
(b)
Here,
Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s
w = 60 m
d = 40 m
Therefore,
V = (300 m³/s)/(60 m)(40 m)
<u>V = 0.125 m/s</u>
