Length of Dam to which Flow Net applies given Quantity of Seepage in Length of Dam Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Dam = (Quantity of Seepage*Equipotential Lines)/(Number of Beds*Loss of Head*Coefficient of Permeability of Soil)
L = (Q*N)/(B*H_L*k)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Dam is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Quantity of Seepage - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Quantity of Seepage is the movement of water in soils or the ground.
Equipotential Lines - Equipotential Lines is defined as the number of lines with same potential drop.
Number of Beds - The Number of Beds is defined as the number of beds between each of the same potential drops.
Loss of Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Loss of head due to sudden enlargement turbulent eddies are formed at the corner of the enlargement of the pipe section.
Coefficient of Permeability of Soil - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of Soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Quantity of Seepage: 0.95 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.95 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Equipotential Lines: 4 --> No Conversion Required
Number of Beds: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Loss of Head: 6.6 Meter --> 6.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Permeability of Soil: 10 Centimeter per Second --> 0.1 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = (Q*N)/(B*H_L*k) --> (0.95*4)/(2*6.6*0.1)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 2.87878787878788

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.87878787878788 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.87878787878788 ≈ 2.878788 Meter <-- Length of Dam
