Niagara Falls is approximately 167 ft high. If the water flows over the crest of the falls with a velocity of 8 ft/s and viscous effects are neglected, with what velocity does the water strike the rocks at the bottom of the falls? What is the maximum pressure of the water on the rocks? Repeat the calculations for the 1430-ft-high Upper Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park. Is it reasonable to neglect viscous effects for these falls? Explain.
