Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Basin = Width of Basin/Form Factor
L_b = W_b/F_f
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Basin refers to the distance from one end of the basin to the other, typically measured along the longest axis.
Width of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water.
Form Factor - Form Factor is a ratio of watershed area to the square of the length of the watershed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Basin: 0.24 Meter --> 0.24 Meter No Conversion Required
Form Factor: 0.008 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_b = W_b/F_f --> 0.24/0.008

Evaluating ... ...

Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor Formula

LaTeX Go

Length of Basin = Width of Basin/Form Factor
L_b = W_b/F_f

What is Form Factor?

Form factor is defined as the ratio of the basin area to the square of the basin length. The value of the form factor would always be less than 0.754 (for a perfectly circular watershed). The smaller the value of the form factor, the more elongated will be the watershed.

How to Calculate Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor?

Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor calculator uses Length of Basin = Width of Basin/Form Factor to calculate the Length of Basin, The Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor formula is defined as the square root of its form factor, representing the efficiency of water flow dispersion. Length of Basin is denoted by L_b symbol.

How to calculate Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor, enter Width of Basin (W_b) & Form Factor (F_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Aerial Length of Basin given Form Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 30 = 0.24/0.008.
