A river narrows at a rapids from a width of 10 m to a width of only 6.0
m. The depth of the river before the rapids is 2.8 m ; the depth in the
rapids is 0.70 m
Part A
Find the speed of water flowing in the rapids, given that its speed before the rapids is 1.4 m/s . Assume the river has a rectangular cross section.
