Critical Depth in Control Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Critical Depth = ((Critical Velocity)^2/Acceleration due to Gravity)
d_c = ((V_c)^2/g)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Critical Depth occurs when the flow in a channel has a minimum specific energy. Specific energy refers to the sum of the depth of flow and the velocity head.
Critical Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Critical velocity is the greatest velocity with which a fluid can flow through a given conduit without becoming turbulent.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is a fundamental physical constant that represents the acceleration of an object due to the force of gravity exerted by the Earth.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Velocity: 5.06 Meter per Second --> 5.06 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_c = ((V_c)^2/g) --> ((5.06)^2/9.8)

Evaluating ... ...

d_c = 2.61261224489796

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.61261224489796 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.61261224489796 ≈ 2.612612 Meter <-- Critical Depth
