Variables Used

King’s Dimensionless Variable for Freshwater - King’s Dimensionless Variable for Freshwater is a metric used in fluid dynamics to characterize flow patterns in freshwater environments succinctly.
River or Freshwater Inflow to a Bay - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - River or Freshwater Inflow to a Bay is the water that is less saline than marine water.
Tidal Period - (Measured in Second) - Tidal Period is the time taken for a specific site on Earth to rotate from an exact point under moon to same point under moon, also known as “tidal day” and it’s slightly longer than a solar day.
Ocean Tide Amplitude - (Measured in Meter) - Ocean Tide Amplitude is the height difference between high and low tides, reflecting gravitational forces from the moon and sun.
Surface Area of Bay - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area of Bay is defined as a small body of water set off from the main body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

River or Freshwater Inflow to a Bay: 10 Cubic Meter per Minute --> 0.166666666666667 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Tidal Period: 130 Second --> 130 Second No Conversion Required
Ocean Tide Amplitude: 4 Meter --> 4 Meter No Conversion Required
Surface Area of Bay: 1.5001 Square Meter --> 1.5001 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Qr' = Qr*T/(2*pi*a_o*A_b) --> 0.166666666666667*130/(2*pi*4*1.5001)

Evaluating ... ...

Qr' = 0.574687870862677

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.574687870862677 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.574687870862677 ≈ 0.574688 <-- King’s Dimensionless Variable for Freshwater

What is Ocean Tide?

Tides are caused by gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun. Tides originate in the oceans and progress toward the coastlines where they appear as the regular rise and fall of the sea surface.

Can ocean tides vary in amplitude?

The amplitude (difference in height between high and low tide) varies through the month with the phases of the Moon, and also varies dramatically around the world. The Bay of Fundy in Canada has the largest tides, while the Mediterranean Sea has very small tides.
