Minimum Critical Scour Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum critical scour velocity = (3*sqrt(Acceleration due to Gravity*Diameter*(Specific gravity of particle-1)))
v_mins = (3*sqrt(g*D*(G-1)))
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

Minimum critical scour velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Minimum critical scour velocity is the minimum settling velocity.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
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.
Specific gravity of particle - Specific gravity of particle is the ratio of density of particle to density of standard material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Diameter: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific gravity of particle: 16 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_mins = (3*sqrt(g*D*(G-1))) --> (3*sqrt(9.8*10*(16-1)))

Evaluating ... ...

v_mins = 115.021737076085

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

115.021737076085 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

115.021737076085 ≈ 115.0217 Meter per Second <-- Minimum critical scour velocity
