Question
You are working as an assistant to a landscape architect, who is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.91 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at
the top of a vertical wall h 2.95 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (see the figure below).
(a) The architect has asked you to determine if the space behind the waterfall will be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway. (Enter the maximum width, in meters, of a walkway
behind the waterfall.)

(b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. She asks you to design and build the model, with the
important question being: how fast (in m/s) should the water flow in the channel in the model?
