STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Specific Force in OCF = ((Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^2)/Top Width)+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal
F = ((Acs^2)/T)+Acs*Yt
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Specific Force in OCF - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Specific Force in OCF (open channel) is dependent on discharge and cross sectional area.
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area of Channel is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
Distance from Centroidal - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Centroidal is the average distance between all points and the central point.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel: 15 Square Meter --> 15 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Top Width: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance from Centroidal: 20.2 Meter --> 20.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
F = ((Acs^2)/T)+Acs*Yt --> ((15^2)/2.1)+15*20.2
Evaluating ... ...
F = 410.142857142857
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
410.142857142857 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

What is Rate of flow?

In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol Q. The SI unit is cubic metres per second. Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per minute. In hydrometry, it is known as discharge.

How to Calculate Specific Force given Top Width?

Specific Force given Top Width calculator uses Specific Force in OCF = ((Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^2)/Top Width)+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal to calculate the Specific Force in OCF, The Specific Force given Top Width is defined as non-gravitational force per unit mass. Specific force (also called g-force and mass-specific force) is measured in meters/second² (m·s−2) which is units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually force, but type of acceleration. Specific Force in OCF is denoted by F symbol.

How to calculate Specific Force given Top Width using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Force given Top Width, enter Cross-Sectional Area of Channel (Acs), Top Width (T) & Distance from Centroidal (Yt) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Force given Top Width calculation can be explained with given input values -> 74.18476 = ((15^2)/2.1)+15*20.2.

FAQ

What is Specific Force given Top Width?
The Specific Force given Top Width is defined as non-gravitational force per unit mass. Specific force (also called g-force and mass-specific force) is measured in meters/second² (m·s−2) which is units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually force, but type of acceleration and is represented as F = ((Acs^2)/T)+Acs*Yt or Specific Force in OCF = ((Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^2)/Top Width)+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal. Cross-Sectional Area of Channel is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point, Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section & Distance from Centroidal is the average distance between all points and the central point.
How to calculate Specific Force given Top Width?
The Specific Force given Top Width is defined as non-gravitational force per unit mass. Specific force (also called g-force and mass-specific force) is measured in meters/second² (m·s−2) which is units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually force, but type of acceleration is calculated using Specific Force in OCF = ((Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^2)/Top Width)+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal. To calculate Specific Force given Top Width, you need Cross-Sectional Area of Channel (Acs), Top Width (T) & Distance from Centroidal (Yt). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Cross-Sectional Area of Channel, Top Width & Distance from Centroidal and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate Specific Force in OCF?
In this formula, Specific Force in OCF uses Cross-Sectional Area of Channel, Top Width & Distance from Centroidal. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
  • Specific Force in OCF = (Discharge of Channel*Discharge of Channel/(Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*[g]))+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal
