Depth of Flow given Wetted Perimeter for Rectangle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Depth of Flow of Channel = (Wetted Perimeter of Rectangle-Width of Section of Rect Channel)*0.5
Df = (Prect-Brect)*0.5
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Depth of Flow of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of Channel is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
Wetted Perimeter of Rectangle - (Measured in Meter) - Wetted Perimeter of Rectangle is defined as the surface of the channel bottom and sides in direct contact with the aqueous body.
Width of Section of Rect Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Section of Rect Channel is the width of the rectangular cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wetted Perimeter of Rectangle: 20.8 Meter --> 20.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Width of Section of Rect Channel: 10.4 Meter --> 10.4 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Df = (Prect-Brect)*0.5 --> (20.8-10.4)*0.5
Evaluating ... ...
Df = 5.2
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
5.2 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
5.2 Meter <-- Depth of Flow of Channel
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
