Quantity of Seepage in Length of Dam under Consideration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Quantity of Seepage = (Coefficient of Permeability of Soil*Number of Beds*Loss of Head*Length of Dam)/Equipotential Lines
Q = (k*B*H_L*L)/N
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Quantity of Seepage - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Quantity of Seepage is the movement of water in soils or the ground.
Coefficient of Permeability of Soil - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of Soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Number of Beds - The Number of Beds is defined as the number of beds between each of the same potential drops.
Loss of Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Loss of head due to sudden enlargement turbulent eddies are formed at the corner of the enlargement of the pipe section.
Length of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Dam is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Equipotential Lines - Equipotential Lines is defined as the number of lines with same potential drop.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Permeability of Soil: 10 Centimeter per Second --> 0.1 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Number of Beds: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Loss of Head: 6.6 Meter --> 6.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Dam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Equipotential Lines: 4 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = (k*B*H_L*L)/N --> (0.1*2*6.6*3)/4

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 0.99

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.99 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.99 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Quantity of Seepage

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
