Length of Crest given Discharge for Cipolletti Weir Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Weir Crest = (3*Discharge by Cipolletti)/(2*Coefficient of Discharge*sqrt(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*Height of Water above Crest of Weir^(3/2))
L_w = (3*Q_C)/(2*C_d*sqrt(2*g)*S_w^(3/2))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 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

Length of Weir Crest - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Weir Crest is the measurement or extent of Weir Crest from end to end.
Discharge by Cipolletti - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge by Cipolletti is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of actual discharge to theoretical discharge.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - The Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Height of Water above Crest of Weir - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Water above Crest of Weir is defined as the water surface height above crest.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge by Cipolletti: 15 Cubic Meter per Second --> 15 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.66 --> No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Height of Water above Crest of Weir: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_w = (3*Q_C)/(2*C_d*sqrt(2*g)*S_w^(3/2)) --> (3*15)/(2*0.66*sqrt(2*9.8)*2^(3/2))

Evaluating ... ...

L_w = 2.72248536221565

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.72248536221565 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.72248536221565 ≈ 2.722485 Meter <-- Length of Weir Crest
