Hydraulic Depth given Section Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Depth = (Section Factor/Wetted Surface Area of Channel)^2
D_Hydraulic = (Z/A)^2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Depth is defined as depth which in contact with water.
Section Factor - (Measured in Meter^2.5) - Section Factor is ratio of normal to critical channel depth.
Wetted Surface Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Channel [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Section Factor: 6.8 Meter^2.5 --> 6.8 Meter^2.5 No Conversion Required
Wetted Surface Area of Channel: 25 Square Meter --> 25 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_Hydraulic = (Z/A)^2 --> (6.8/25)^2

Evaluating ... ...

D_Hydraulic = 0.073984

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.073984 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.073984 Meter <-- Hydraulic Depth
