We're watching water flowing over a dam and down a spillway. We see the angle of the spillway is approximately 18.8 degrees (theta) and it is 0.0066 km (w) wide. A stick is thrown into the water and, as it floats by, the velocity is calculated as 19.8 m/s (v). Assuming this velocity is the surface velocity, what is the total flow rate

Transcribed Image Text:We're watching water flowing over a dam and
down a spillway. We see the angle of the
spillway is approximately 18.8 degrees (theta)
and it is 0.0066 km (w) wide. A stick is thrown
into the water and, as it floats by, the velocity is
calculated as 19.8 m/s (v). Assuming this velocity
is the surface velocity, what is the total flow rate
of water (in m^3/s) over the dam? Assume
properties of water (viscosity = 1 cP and a
density of 1000 kg/m^3).
