n = (1/V_avg(U))*(S^(1/2))*(R_H^(2/3))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
Average Velocity of Uniform Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity of Uniform Flow is defined as the mean of all different velocities.
Bed Slope - Bed Slope is used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow.
Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Velocity of Uniform Flow: 0.796 Meter per Second --> 0.796 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
