A stream of water moving at the rate of \(\displaystyle v\) feet per second can carry particles of size \(\displaystyle 0.03\sqrt{v}\) inches. Find the size of the particle that can be carried by a stream flowing at the rate of \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}\) foor per second.


I replaced the v with .75 and simplified to get \(\displaystyle .015\sqrt{3}\) but my answer does not correspond with the answer on the answer sheet.

What's the answer on the answer sheet? 0.026? I hope it's not 0.035.
