Section Modulus of Rectangular Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Section Modulus = (Width of a Section Channel*(Depth of Section^2))/6
z = (B_H*(D^2))/6
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Section Modulus - (Measured in Cubic Millimeter) - Section Modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.
Width of a Section Channel - (Measured in Meter) - The Width of a Section Channel refers to the horizontal measurement of the cross-section of the channel.
Depth of Section - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Section refers to the vertical distance between the water surface and the bottom of a channel, pipe, or waterway, influencing flow characteristics.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of a Section Channel: 20 Millimeter --> 0.02 Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Section: 100.1 Millimeter --> 0.1001 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

z = (B_H*(D^2))/6 --> (0.02*(0.1001^2))/6

Evaluating ... ...

z = 3.34000333333333E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.34000333333333E-14 Cubic Meter -->3.34000333333333E-05 Cubic Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.34000333333333E-05 ≈ 3.3E-5 Cubic Millimeter <-- Section Modulus
