Variables Used
Topographic Factor - Topographic Factor are also called indirect factors as they influence the growth and development of organisms by bringing variations in climatic factors.
Velocity Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Velocity Pressure is the pressure required to accelerate air from zero velocity to some velocity and is proportional to the kinetic energy of the air stream.
Velocity Exposure Coefficient - Velocity Exposure Coefficient is evaluated at some height z.
Importance Factor for End Use - Importance Factor for End Use is the factor whose value lies in range 0.8 to 1.2.
Wind Directionality Factor - Wind Directionality Factor reflects the fact that the climatologically and aerodynamically or dynamically most unfavourable wind directions typically do not coincide.
Basic Wind Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Basic Wind Speed is the wind speed corresponding to a 3-s gust speed at 33 ft above the ground in Exposure C.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Velocity Pressure: 20 Poundal per Square Foot --> 29.7632788711526 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Velocity Exposure Coefficient: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required
