Apparent Velocity of Seepage when Discharge and Cross-Sectional Area are considered Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Discharge/Cross Section Area of Porous Medium
V = Q'/A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Apparent Velocity of Seepage - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Apparent Velocity of Seepage is the velocity at which groundwater moves through the porous medium, as observed over a larger scale.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the volume of water that flows through a cross-section of a river, stream, or other hydraulic systems per unit of time.
Cross Section Area of Porous Medium - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Section Area of Porous Medium is the area through which fluid flows perpendicularly to the direction of flow within a porous material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Cross Section Area of Porous Medium: 0.125 Square Meter --> 0.125 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = Q'/A --> 3/0.125

Evaluating ... ...

V = 24

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

24 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

24 Meter per Second <-- Apparent Velocity of Seepage

(Calculation completed in 00.105 seconds)
