STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel = (Discharge of Channel*Top Width/[g])^(1/3)
Acs = (Q*T/[g])^(1/3)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables
Constants Used
[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665
Variables Used
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area of Channel is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Discharge of Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge of Channel is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
