Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

We use towels to dry our body after taking a shower,why?<br><br>​
9966 [12]

Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.
