Answer:
Explanation:
We shall solve this problem on the basis of pinciple that water is incompressible so volume of flow will be equal at every point .
rate of volume flow of one stream
= cross sectional area x velocity
= 8.4 x 3.5 x 2.2 = 64.68 m³ /s
rate of volume flow of other stream
= 6.6 x 3.6 x 2.7
= 64.15 m³ /s
rate of volume flow of rive , if d be its depth
= 11.2 x d x 2.8
= 31.36 d
volume flow of river = Total of volume flow rate of two streams
31.36 d = 64.15 + 64.68
31.36 d = 128.83
d = 4.10 m /s .
