Overflow Rate given Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overflow Rate = Discharge/(Width*Length)
SOR = Q/(w*L)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Overflow Rate - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Overflow Rate is the flow rate of water per unit surface area of the tank.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the horizontal measurement or dimension of a structure, feature, or area.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Width: 2.29 Meter --> 2.29 Meter No Conversion Required
Length: 3.01 Meter --> 3.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SOR = Q/(w*L) --> 3/(2.29*3.01)

Evaluating ... ...

SOR = 0.435230454525671

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.435230454525671 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.435230454525671 ≈ 0.43523 Meter per Second <-- Overflow Rate

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
