\mathrm{V= 36\, \frac{km}{hr}= 10\, m/s}


By Newton's law for laminar flow ,

\mathrm{F= \eta A\left ( \frac{dv}{dx} \right )}
\mathrm{Shearing\: stress= \left ( \frac{F}{A} \right )= \eta \left ( \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta x} \right )}
\mathrm{10^{-3}= 10^{-2}\frac{\left ( v-0 \right )}{\left ( Depth \right )}}

\mathrm{Depth\: of\; river= 100\, m}
