Given.

Q = 576 lit/sec, means Q = 0.576 m^3/sec because (1 m^3 = 1000 lit).

Also given v = 0.2 m/sec.

We know that Q = A*V,

So A = Q/V = 0.576/0.2 = 2.88 m^2,

Also given width/depth = 2 means b = 2*d.

So A = b*d = 2.88, given b = 2d.

So 2d*d = 2.88. So d^2 = 1.44.

So d =under root 1.44, d = 1.2 m = 1.2*100 = 120 cm.

b/d=2,b=2d
Q = AV ,
A = Q/V = 576 * 10^-3/0.2 = 2.88m2.

A = B * D,
2.88 = 2D*D,
D = 1.2m = 1.2 * 10 = 120cm => answer.
