Depth of Flow given Wetted Area for Rectangle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Depth of Flow of Channel = Wetted Surface Area of Rectangle/Width of Section of Rect Channel
Df = Arect/Brect
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Depth of Flow of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of 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.
Wetted Surface Area of Rectangle - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Rectangle [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.
Width of Section of Rect Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Section of Rect Channel is the width of the rectangular cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wetted Surface Area of Rectangle: 54.08 Square Meter --> 54.08 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Width of Section of Rect Channel: 10.4 Meter --> 10.4 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Df = Arect/Brect --> 54.08/10.4
Evaluating ... ...
Df = 5.2
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
5.2 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
5.2 Meter <-- Depth of Flow of Channel
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
