STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Discharge over Broad Crested Weir: 17.54 Cubic Meter per Second --> 17.54 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.66 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Weir Crest: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Critical Depth of Weir: 1.001 Meter --> 1.001 Meter No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (((Q_a/(C_d*L_w*h_c))^2)*(1/(2*g)))+h_c --> (((17.54/(0.66*3*1.001))^2)*(1/(2*9.8)))+1.001

Evaluating ... ...

H = 4.99680762434865

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.99680762434865 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.99680762434865 ≈ 4.996808 Meter <-- Total Head
