G = (v_s/((g/18)*((D)^2/ν)))+1
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Specific gravity of sediment - Specific gravity of sediment is the ratio of density of sediment to density of standard substance.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
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.
Kinematic Viscosity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The kinematic Viscosity is an atmospheric variable defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity μ and the density ρ of the fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
