Crystal Hole rapids on the Colorado River. People rafting the river at the time (who were obviously traumatised into adopting the metric system) reported "entering the rapids at almost 50 km/h, hitting a 6-metre-tall wall of water, and exiting at about 15 km/h". Do you think the rafters' statement is accurate?

Crossing a River. You and your team come to a slow flowing river that you need to cross. The nearest bridge is 20 miles to the north, too dangerous and too far to trek with your group. You explore the area down river and discover an abandoned shed with a stash of 55-gallon drums (all empty and weighing 35.0 lb each) and a stack of 10-foot planks: you will build a raft. The six members of your team have a combined weight of 1015 pounds (assuming everyone was truthful). You also have a four-wheeler (all-terrain vehicle), which weighs 460 lb, and other gear, which adds another 325 lb. Your simple raft design is as follows: platform of planks with barrels strapped to the bottom. You estimate that the planks weigh about 49.0 lb each, and you will need 20 of them to make a platform that can accommodate everything for the one-way trip. You measure the dimensions of the cylindrical drums and find they have diameter D = 23.0 inches and height h = 34.5 inches (note: not exactly "55 gallons").…
