Moving Boat Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Boat Velocity = Resultant Velocity*cos(Angle)
v_b = V*cos(θ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Boat Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Boat Velocity which is free to move about a vertical axis.
Resultant Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Resultant Velocity is the sum of its vector velocities. The sum of the vector forces on an object equals the scalar product of its mass and acceleration vector.
Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Angle made with the direction of the boat aligned in the direction of the resultant velocity or made with the direction of the flow.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Resultant Velocity: 10 Meter per Second --> 10 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Angle: 50 Degree --> 0.872664625997001 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_b = V*cos(θ) --> 10*cos(0.872664625997001)

Evaluating ... ...

v_b = 6.42787609686665

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.42787609686665 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.42787609686665 ≈ 6.427876 Meter per Second <-- Boat Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Moving-Boat Technique for measurement of Velocity?

The Moving- Boat Technique measures the velocity over the width of a segment by suspending the current meter at a constant depth during the traverse of the boat across the stream. The measured velocity and the additional information of the depth sounding gives the required data for determining the discharge.

How to Calculate Moving Boat Velocity?

Moving Boat Velocity calculator uses Boat Velocity = Resultant Velocity*cos(Angle) to calculate the Boat Velocity, The Moving Boat Velocity formula is defined as in propeller-type current meter which is free to move about a vertical axis and is towed in a boat at a certain velocity. Boat Velocity is denoted by v_b symbol.
