An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section. at one point whare the canal is 16.0 m wide, and the water is 3.8 m deep, the water flow is 2.8 cm/s. at a second point downstream, but on the same level, the canal is 16.5 m wide, but the water flows at 11.0 cm/s. how deep in meters is the water at this point?

The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

At one point

Wide= 16.0 m

Deep = 3.8 m

Water flow = 2.8 cm/s

At a second point downstream

Width of canal = 16.5 m

Water flow = 11.0 cm/s

We need to calculate the depth

Using Bernoulli theorem

Put the value into the formula

Hence,  The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

what is the actual question though?
