Top Width given Specific Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Top Width = (Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^2)/(Specific Force in OCF-Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal)
T = (Acs^2)/(F-Acs*Yt)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area of Channel is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Specific Force in OCF - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Specific Force in OCF (open channel) is dependent on discharge and cross sectional area.
Distance from Centroidal - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Centroidal is the average distance between all points and the central point.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel: 15 Square Meter --> 15 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Force in OCF: 410 Cubic Meter --> 410 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Distance from Centroidal: 20.2 Meter --> 20.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
T = (Acs^2)/(F-Acs*Yt) --> (15^2)/(410-15*20.2)
Evaluating ... ...
T = 2.10280373831776
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.10280373831776 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.10280373831776 2.102804 Meter <-- Top Width

What is Specific Force?

Specific force is defined as the non-gravitational force per unit mass. Specific force (also called g-force and mass-specific force) is measured in meters/second² (m·s−2) which is the units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually a force, but a type of acceleration.

How to Calculate Top Width given Specific Force?
