Two cross sections AB and CD each perpendicular to the base line AC of 250 m length are established for measuring the velocity of flowing water in a river. When the float was on the section AB, the angle AEB measured from a point E on the base line, 100 m from A, was 50°30'40" and the angle CED was 45°35'20". If the time taken by the float to travel the distance BD was 90 seconds, calculate the velocity of water.

When the float was on the section AB, the angle AEB measured from a point E on the base line, 100 m from A, was 50°30'40" and the angle CED was 45°35'20". If the time taken by the float to travel the distance BD was 90 seconds, calculate the velocity of water.
