STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Discharge: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Weir: 25 Meter --> 25 Meter No Conversion Required
Head of Liquid: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required
Head Due to Velocity of Approach: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = 1.705*C_d*L_w*((H+h_a)^(3/2)-h_a^(3/2)) --> 1.705*0.8*25*((10+1.2)^(3/2)-1.2^(3/2))

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 1233.32317522935

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1233.32317522935 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1233.32317522935 ≈ 1233.323 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge Weir

What is broad-crested weir?

Broad crested weirs are robust structures that are generally constructed from reinforced concrete and which usually span the full width of the channel. They are used to measure the discharge of rivers and are much more suited for this purpose than the relatively flimsy sharp-crested weirs.

What is velocity of approach?

The velocity of approach or separation is defined as the rate of change of relative displacement between two bodies. The velocity of approach is defined when the displacement between the bodies is decreasing and separation when the displacement between the bodies is increasing.
