G = (v_s)^2/(((4/3)*g*D)/C_D)+1
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Gravity of Sediment - Specific Gravity of Sediment is the ratio of the density of sediment particles to the density of water.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling Velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Coefficient of Drag - The Coefficient of Drag is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Diameter: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Drag: 0.38 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

G = (v_s)^2/(((4/3)*g*D)/C_D)+1 --> (1.5)^2/(((4/3)*9.8*10)/0.38)+1

Evaluating ... ...
