Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Section Factor of Trapezoidal - (Measured in Meter^2.5) - Section Factor of trapezoidal is ratio of normal to critical channel depth.
Width of Trap Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Trap Channel is the width of the trapezoidal cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel - Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel is side slope of trapezoidal channel, defined as horizontal to vertical ratio.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Width of Trap Channel: 3.8105 Meter --> 3.8105 Meter No Conversion Required
