Depth of Parabolic Channel given Critical Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth = 1.55*Critical Depth
D = 1.55*CD
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Critical depth occurs when the flow in a channel has a minimum specific energy. Specific energy refers to the sum of the depth of flow and the velocity head.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Depth: 4 Meter --> 4 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = 1.55*CD --> 1.55*4

Evaluating ... ...

D = 6.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.2 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.2 Meter <-- Depth
