Question

The right and left water edges of a stream are 3.0 and 47.5 m respectively from an initial reference point . Verticals are 
located at distances 7.5, 12, 16.5, 21.5, 26.5, 31, 35.5, 40, and 44.5 m from the reference point. Depths of verticals are 
0.6, 1.2, 1.4, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.5, 2.0, and 0.9 m. Mean velocities in the verticals are 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 0.6, and 
0.2 m/sec, respectively. Assuming that the discharge in the end sections of the stream to be zero, determine the 
following: 
a. Cross-sectional area of the stream (sq.m.)
b. Volume of water if its horizontal distance is 5.0 m to an opposite stream section with the same cross-sectional area?
c. Discharge of the stream (cu.m./sec) 
d. Average velocity of flow of the stream (m/sec)
