Depth given Critical Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth = 1.55*((Critical Velocity)^2/Acceleration due to Gravity)
D = 1.55*((V_c)^2/g)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Critical Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Critical velocity is the greatest velocity with which a fluid can flow through a given conduit without becoming turbulent.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Velocity: 15 Meter per Second --> 15 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = 1.55*((V_c)^2/g) --> 1.55*((15)^2/9.8)

Evaluating ... ...

D = 35.5867346938776

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

35.5867346938776 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

35.5867346938776 ≈ 35.58673 Meter <-- Depth
