- Consider a river that spreads out in a delta region on its way to the sea. Construct a problem in which you calculate the average speed at which water moves in the delta region, based on the speed at which it was moving up river. Among the things to consider are the size and flow rate of the river before it spreads out and its size once it has spread out. You can construct the problem for the river spreading out into one large river or into multiple smaller rivers.arrow_forward11) Seawater contains approximately 3.5% salt by weight, what is the of the seawater containing 3 kg of salt if the density of the seawater is equal to 1030kg/cm³arrow_forward5.
