Diameter of Particle given Settling Velocity for Turbulent Settling Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Diameter = (Settling Velocity/(1.8*sqrt(Acceleration due to Gravity*(Specific gravity of sediment-1))))^2
D = (vs/(1.8*sqrt(g*(G-1))))^2
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables
Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Specific gravity of sediment - Specific gravity of sediment is the ratio of density of sediment to density of standard substance.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 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
Specific gravity of sediment: 1.3 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
D = (vs/(1.8*sqrt(g*(G-1))))^2 --> (1.5/(1.8*sqrt(9.8*(1.3-1))))^2
