An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section of 5 m width and 1.2 m depth. If water flows at a speed of 0.80 m/s, what is its flow rate? (b) If the width of the stream is reduced to 3 m and the depth to 1 m as the water passes a flow control gate, what is the speed of the water past the gate?
