Flow Velocity of Water Entering Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flow Velocity of Water = (Discharge/(Width*Depth of Tank))
v_w = (Q/(w*D_t))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Flow Velocity of Water - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity of Water is the speed at which water moves through a conduit or channel.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area.
Depth of Tank - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Tank is the actual depth of the bottom of the tank and the apparent depth is the virtual depth that is observed as a result of the refraction of light.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Tank: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_w = (Q/(w*D_t)) --> (3/(2.29*5))

Evaluating ... ...

v_w = 0.262008733624454

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.262008733624454 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.262008733624454 ≈ 0.262009 Meter per Second <-- Flow Velocity of Water

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
