Question

Problem:
The table shows a current meter notes of one the rivers in the Province of Cavite. Draw
the cross section properly and determine the following:
1) Average velocity at the verticals
2) Average velocity at each section
3) Area in each section and the total of the whole cross section
4) Discharge at each section and the total discharge of the whole cross section
5) Average velocity of the river.
