6.8 A river 3 m deep and 50 m wide contains water flowing at 5.0 m/s. a. What is the kinetic energy/volume (J/m3) of the river? b. If all the energy is captured (bringing the river to a standstill) how much energy per unit time (J/s) passes a cross section of the river? c. If 20% of the river is shunted through a turbine operating at the Betz efficiency, how much power is produced
