Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Velocity in Vertical = Minimum Weight/(50*Depth of Flow in Vertical)
v = N/(50*d)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Average Velocity in Vertical - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity in Vertical is the rate at which the water flows in any stream or water body.
Minimum Weight - (Measured in Newton) - Minimum Weight is the least of Sounding Weights that refers to the current meters that are weighted down by lead weights.
Depth of Flow in Vertical - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow in Vertical is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or the Depth of flow at the vertical while measuring Sound Weights.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Weight: 3300 Newton --> 3300 Newton No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow in Vertical: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v = N/(50*d) --> 3300/(50*3.3)

Evaluating ... ...

v = 20

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

20 Meter per Second <-- Average Velocity in Vertical

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight Formula

Average Velocity in Vertical = Minimum Weight/(50*Depth of Flow in Vertical)
v = N/(50*d)

What is Minimum Weight?

Sounding Weights refers to the current meters that are weighted down by lead weights. Sounding Weights come in different sizes and the Minimum Weight is the least of the size.

What is Stream Velocity?

Stream Velocity is important because of its impact on water quality and the living organisms and habitats in the stream. Stream Velocity increases as the volume of the water in the stream increases, determining the kinds of organisms that can live in the stream (some need fast-flowing areas; others need quiet pools).

How to Calculate Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight?

Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight calculator uses Average Velocity in Vertical = Minimum Weight/(50*Depth of Flow in Vertical) to calculate the Average Velocity in Vertical, The Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight formula is defined as the speed of the water in the stream. Units are distance per time. Stream velocity is greatest in midstream near the surface and is slowest along the stream bed and banks due to friction. Average Velocity in Vertical is denoted by v symbol.

How to calculate Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight, enter Minimum Weight (N) & Depth of Flow in Vertical (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 20 = 3300/(50*3.3).

FAQ

What is Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight?

The Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight formula is defined as the speed of the water in the stream. Units are distance per time.
