Height of Water above Bottom of Wall given Total Thrust from Water Retained behind Wall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Water = sqrt(2*Thrust from Water/Unit Weight of Water)
H_w = sqrt(2*T_W/γ_w)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

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

Height of Water - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Water is the amount of water in vertical direction above the bottom of the wall.
Thrust from Water - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Thrust from Water is the force exerted by a water flow on a surface, perpendicular to the direction of motion.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the ratio of total weight to the total volume of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thrust from Water: 16 Kilonewton per Meter --> 16000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_w = sqrt(2*T_W/γ_w) --> sqrt(2*16000/9810)

Evaluating ... ...

H_w = 1.80609456394292

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.80609456394292 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.80609456394292 ≈ 1.806095 Meter <-- Height of Water

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Unit Weight of Water ?

The specific weight, also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a material. A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C, which is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3. The terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density.
