STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge through Free Portion: 50.1 Cubic Meter per Second --> 50.1 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length of Weir Crest: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Head on Upstream of Weir: 10.1 Meter --> 10.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Head on Downstream of Weir: 5.1 Meter --> 5.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_d = (3*Q₁)/(2*L_w*sqrt(2*g)*(H_Upstream-h₂)^(3/2)) --> (3*50.1)/(2*3*sqrt(2*9.8)*(10.1-5.1)^(3/2))

Evaluating ... ...

C_d = 0.506086424820658

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.506086424820658 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.506086424820658 ≈ 0.506086 <-- Coefficient of Discharge
