17) A river narrows at the rapids from a width of 12 m to a width of only 6 m. The
depth of the river before the rapid is 3 m, the depth of the rapids is 1 m. Using the
equation of continuity, find the speed of the river in the rapids. Assume the water
flow 1 m/s before the rapids.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that,

The density of Benzene, ρB=897 kg/m3

The density of water, ρW=1000 kg/m3

The length of the benzene column L = L=4 cm=0.04 m
