Distance Travelled given Surface Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Distance Travelled = Surface Velocity of River*Time Taken to Travel
S = v_s*t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Distance Travelled - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Travelled is the length of the trajectory followed between the initial and final position of the body in motion.
Surface Velocity of River - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Surface Velocity of River to get a rough estimate of the runoff.
Time Taken to Travel - (Measured in Second) - Time Taken to Travel is the total time taken by an object to reach its destination.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Velocity of River: 22 Meter per Second --> 22 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Time Taken to Travel: 5 Second --> 5 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = v_s*t --> 22*5

Evaluating ... ...

S = 110

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

110 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

110 Meter <-- Distance Travelled

Velocity Distribution in Rough Turbulent Flow

Go Average Velocity in Vertical = 5.75*Shear Velocity*log10(30*Height above Bed/Equivalent Sand-Grain Roughness)

Revolutions per Second of Horizontal Axis Meter given Stream Velocity

Go Revolutions per Second of Meter = (Average Velocity in Vertical-Constant b)/Constant a

Stream Velocity at Instrument Location

Go Average Velocity in Vertical = Constant a*Revolutions per Second of Meter+Constant b

Average Velocity in Moderately Deep Streams

Go Average Velocity in Vertical = (Velocity at 0.2 Times Depth of Flow+Velocity at 0.8 Times Depth of Flow)/2

Depth of Flow at Vertical given Sounding Weights

Go Depth of Flow in Vertical = Minimum Weight/(50*Average Velocity in Vertical)

Average Stream Velocity given Minimum Weight

Go Average Velocity in Vertical = Minimum Weight/(50*Depth of Flow in Vertical)

Sounding Weights

Go Minimum Weight = 50*Average Velocity in Vertical*Depth of Flow in Vertical

Average Velocity obtained by using Reduction Factor

Go Average Velocity in Vertical = Reduction Factor*Surface Velocity of River

Surface Velocity given Average of Velocity

Go Surface Velocity of River = Average Velocity in Vertical/Reduction Factor

Time of Distance Travelled given Surface Velocity

Go Time Taken to Travel = Distance Travelled/Surface Velocity of River

Distance Travelled given Surface Velocity

Go Distance Travelled = Surface Velocity of River*Time Taken to Travel

Surface Velocity

Go Surface Velocity of River = Distance Travelled/Time Taken to Travel

Distance Travelled given Surface Velocity Formula

Distance Travelled = Surface Velocity of River*Time Taken to Travel
S = v_s*t

What is Velocity Measurement by Floats?

The Process involved in the float method of measuring velocity is by observing the time for a floating body to traverse a known length and noting its position in the channel. The floating body may be specially designed surface float, subsurface float, or any selected piece of drift floating with the current.

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).
