Area of Basin given Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula in FPS unit Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Area of Basin = (Discharge in cusecs/Constant FPS)^(4/3)
A₁ = (Q₁/C₁)^(4/3)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Area of Basin - (Measured in Square Mile) - Area of Basin which is also known as catchment area.
Discharge in cusecs - (Measured in Cubic Foot per Second) - Discharge in cusecs is defined as the volumetric flow rate in F.P.S unit.
Constant FPS - Constant FPS unit is used and depend upon catchment.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge in cusecs: 5 Cubic Foot per Second --> 5 Cubic Foot per Second No Conversion Required
Constant FPS: 0.18 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A₁ = (Q₁/C₁)^(4/3) --> (5/0.18)^(4/3)

Evaluating ... ...

A₁ = 84.1259533718583

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

217885219.003794 Square Meter -->84.1259533718583 Square Mile (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

84.1259533718583 ≈ 84.12595 Square Mile <-- Area of Basin

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
