Manning's Formula for Slope of Channel Bed given Average Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bed Slope = (Average Velocity of Uniform Flow*Manning’s Roughness Coefficient/(Hydraulic Radius of Channel^(2/3)))^(2)
S = (V_avg(U)*n/(R_H^(2/3)))^(2)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Average Velocity of Uniform Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity of Uniform Flow is defined as the mean of all different velocities.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
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
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (V_avg(U)*n/(R_H^(2/3)))^(2) --> (0.796*0.012/(1.6^(2/3)))^(2)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 4.87560653743276E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.87560653743276E-05 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.87560653743276E-05 ≈ 4.9E-5 <-- Bed Slope
