Sorptivity for Cumulative Infiltration Capacity is from Philip's Equation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sorptivity = (Cumulative Infiltration Capacity-Hydraulic Conductivity*Time)/(Time^(1/2))
s = (F_p-k*t)/(t^(1/2))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Sorptivity - Sorptivity is a function of soil suction potential and measures the capacity of the medium to absorb or desorb liquid by capillarity.
Cumulative Infiltration Capacity - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Cumulative Infiltration Capacity is calculated by subtracting the cumulative runoff from the cumulative rainfall.
Hydraulic Conductivity - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Hydraulic Conductivity depends on the size and arrangement of the water-transmitting openings and on the dynamic characteristics of the fluid.
Time - (Measured in Hour) - Time is an ongoing and continuous sequence of events that occur in succession, from the past through the present, and to the future. Here it is for rainfall.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cumulative Infiltration Capacity: 20 Centimeter per Hour --> 20 Centimeter per Hour No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Conductivity: 2.93 Centimeter per Hour --> 2.93 Centimeter per Hour No Conversion Required
Time: 2 Hour --> 2 Hour No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s = (F_p-k*t)/(t^(1/2)) --> (20-2.93*2)/(2^(1/2))

Evaluating ... ...

s = 9.99848988597778

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.99848988597778 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.99848988597778 ≈ 9.99849 <-- Sorptivity
