Top Width of Section through Section Considering Condition of Minimum Specific Energy Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Top Width = ((Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^3)*[g]/Discharge of Channel)
T = ((A_cs^3)*[g]/Q)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

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.
Discharge of Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge of Channel is the rate of flow of a liquid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross-Sectional Area of Channel: 3.4 Square Meter --> 3.4 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge of Channel: 14 Cubic Meter per Second --> 14 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = ((A_cs^3)*[g]/Q) --> ((3.4^3)*[g]/14)

Evaluating ... ...

T = 27.5314694

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

27.5314694 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

27.5314694 ≈ 27.53147 Meter <-- Top Width
