Question

water in a canal is 8m wide and 6 m deep is flowing with a speed of 12 km per hour how much area will it irrigate in 1 hour if 0.05 m of standing water is required

Answer 1

The area of the canal that will be irrigated in 1 hour is 159.84 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area irrigated by the flowing water can be calculated by multiplying the width, depth, and speed of the water.

First, convert the speed of the water from km/h to m/s.

To do this, divide the speed in km/h by 3.6. In this case, 12 km/h divided by 3.6 = 3.33 m/s.

Then, calculate the area by multiplying the width, depth, and speed. In this case, the width is 8 m, the depth is 6 m, and the speed is 3.33 m/s.

Using the formula A = width * depth * speed, the area of the canal that will be irrigated in 1 hour is

8 * 6 * 3.33 = 159.84 square meters.
