1. Dikes are to be installed on both channel banks of the 1.2 km long river section. The river width is 60 m, and 50% of the river width should be secured for flow passage. Determine the number of dikes can be installed in this section. Use the Winkel's formula and the angle from the front of the dike to the bottom of the next dike is 10 degrees.
