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
