STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sorptivity = ((Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t-Hydraulic Conductivity)*2)/(Time^(-1/2))
s = ((f_p-k)*2)/(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.
Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t - (Measured in Centimeter per Hour) - Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t from the start of the rainfall is the rate at which water percolates in the soil.
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

Infiltration Capacity at Any Time t: 16 Centimeter per Hour --> 16 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)*2)/(t^(-1/2)) --> ((16-2.93)*2)/(2^(-1/2))

Evaluating ... ...

s = 36.9675425204327

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

36.9675425204327 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

36.9675425204327 ≈ 36.96754 <-- Sorptivity
