Critical Section Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Section Factor = Discharge of Channel/sqrt([g])
Z = Q/sqrt([g])
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Section Factor - (Measured in Meter^2.5) - Section Factor is ratio of normal to critical channel depth.
Discharge of Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge of Channel is the rate of flow of a liquid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge of Channel: 14 Cubic Meter per Second --> 14 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Z = Q/sqrt([g]) --> 14/sqrt([g])

Evaluating ... ...

Z = 4.47061939493482

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.47061939493482 Meter^2.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.47061939493482 ≈ 4.470619 Meter^2.5 <-- Section Factor
