A river narrows at rapids from a width of 15 meter to a width of only 6 meter. The depth of the river before the rapids is 2.6 meter; the depth in the rapids is 0.85 meter. Obtain the speed of water flowing in the rapids, given that its speed before the rapids is 1 meter per second. Suppose the river has a rectangular cross section?
