he following are the data obtained in a stream -gauging operation . A current meter with a calibration equation V = (0.32N + 0.032) * m / s , where N = revolutions per second was used to measure the velocity at 0.6 depth . Using the mid -section method , calculate the discharge in the stream .

 

The following are the data obtained in a stream-gauging operation. A current meter with...
a calibration equation V = (0.32N+ 0.032) m/s, where N = revolutions per second was
used to measure the velocity at 0.6 depth. Using the mid-section method, calculate the
discharge in the stream.
