Velocity Area Method. At certain section of a river, the left and right water edges are 3.0m and 23.0m respectively from an initial reference point. Verticals are located at distances 7.0m, 12.0m, 16.5m, 19.5m, and 23.0m, from the initial point. Depths of verticals are 1.8, 3.5, 4.6, 3.4, and 5.8m. Mean velocities in the verticals are 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.50, and 0.48m. Sketch the cross section of the river using the data given and solve for the average velocity of the flow of the river.
