Variables Used
Width of Trap Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Trap Channel is the width of the trapezoidal cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel - Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel is side slope of trapezoidal channel, defined as horizontal to vertical ratio.
Hydraulic Depth of Trapezoidal Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Depth of Trapezoidal Channel is defined as depth which in contact with water.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel: 3.32 Meter --> 3.32 Meter No Conversion Required
Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel: 0.577 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Depth of Trapezoidal Channel: 2.47 Meter --> 2.47 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Btrap = ((df(trap)*ztrap*df(trap))-DTrap*2*df(trap)*ztrap)/(DTrap-df(trap)) --> ((3.32*0.577*3.32)-2.47*2*3.32*0.577)/(2.47-3.32)
Evaluating ... ...
