Discharge at Initial Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Discharge at Time t=0 = Discharge at Time t/(Recession Constant^Time)
Q₀ = Q_t/(K_r^t)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Discharge at Time t=0 - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge at Time t=0 is the rate of flow of a liquid that moves over a designated point over a fixed period.
Discharge at Time t - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge at Time t is the volumetric flow rate of a stream, which volume of water flowing per rate of time at any time t.
Recession Constant - Recession Constant is the ratio of discharge after the unit time step of some specific initial discharge to specific initial discharge, provided both discharges are along the same straight segment.
Time - (Measured in Second) - Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an irreversible succession from the past to the present and future.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge at Time t: 1.4162 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.4162 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Recession Constant: 0.1683 --> No Conversion Required
Time: 2 Second --> 2 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q₀ = Q_t/(K_r^t) --> 1.4162/(0.1683^2)

Evaluating ... ...

Q₀ = 49.9984289435899

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

49.9984289435899 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

49.9984289435899 ≈ 49.99843 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge at Time t=0
