Form Factor given Width of Basin Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Form Factor = Width of Basin/Length of Basin
Ff = Wb/Lb
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Form Factor - Form Factor is a ratio of watershed area to the square of the length of the watershed.
Width of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water.
Length of Basin - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Basin or length of the drainage basin in kilometres.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Width of Basin: 0.24 Meter --> 0.24 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Basin: 30 Meter --> 30 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Ff = Wb/Lb --> 0.24/30
Evaluating ... ...
Ff = 0.008
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.008 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.008 <-- Form Factor
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Form Factor?

Form factor is defined as the ratio of the basin area to the square of the basin length. The value of the form factor would always be less than 0.754 (for a perfectly circular watershed). The smaller the value of the form factor, the more elongated will be the watershed.

How to Calculate Form Factor given Width of Basin?

Form Factor given Width of Basin calculator uses Form Factor = Width of Basin/Length of Basin to calculate the Form Factor, The Form Factor given Width of Basin formula is defined as the ratio of the width of the basin to that of the aerial length. Basin length is the aerial measured Length over the specified catchment Area. Form Factor is denoted by Ff symbol.

How to calculate Form Factor given Width of Basin using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Form Factor given Width of Basin, enter Width of Basin (Wb) & Length of Basin (Lb) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Form Factor given Width of Basin calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.008 = 0.24/30.

FAQ

What is Form Factor given Width of Basin?
The Form Factor given Width of Basin formula is defined as the ratio of the width of the basin to that of the aerial length. Basin length is the aerial measured Length over the specified catchment Area and is represented as Ff = Wb/Lb or Form Factor = Width of Basin/Length of Basin. Width of Basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water & Length of Basin or length of the drainage basin in kilometres.
How to calculate Form Factor given Width of Basin?
