Variables Used

Retarding Force on Liquid in Pipe - (Measured in Newton) - Retarding force on liquid in pipe is the force acting on the liquid slowing it down when the valve is closed.
Density of Fluid Inside the Pipe - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid Inside the Pipe material shows the mass of the liquid in a specific given volume. This is taken as mass per unit volume.
Cross Sectional Area of Pipe - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area of Pipe is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a pipe is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Length of Pipe - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Pipe describes the length of the pipe in which the liquid is flowing.
Flow Velocity through Pipe - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity through Pipe is the velocity of the flow of any fluid from the pipe.
Time Required to Close Valve - (Measured in Second) - Time required to close valve is the amount of time required for closing the valve.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density of Fluid Inside the Pipe: 1010 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1010 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Cross Sectional Area of Pipe: 0.0113 Square Meter --> 0.0113 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Pipe: 1200 Meter --> 1200 Meter No Conversion Required
Flow Velocity through Pipe: 12.5 Meter per Second --> 12.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Time Required to Close Valve: 535.17 Second --> 535.17 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_r = ρ'*A*L*V_f/t_c --> 1010*0.0113*1200*12.5/535.17

Evaluating ... ...
