Variables Used

Topographic factor - Topographic Factor also called indirect factors as they influence the growth and development of organisms by bringing variations in climatic factors.
Sediment Yield from an Individual Storm - (Measured in Kilogram) - Sediment Yield from an Individual Storm is the amount of sediment leaving the watershed or catchment, and gross erosion is defined as the absolute amount of erosion occurring within the catchment.
Runoff Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Runoff Volume is the average amount of water that flows down a particular river, per year, expressed as a volume of water flowing past a given point.
Peak Rate of Runoff - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Rate of Runoff is the maximum rate of discharge during the period of runoff caused by a storm.
Soil Erodibility Factor - Soil Erodibility Factor is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact.
Cover Management Factor - Cover Management Factor reflects the effect of cropping and management practices on erosion rates.
Support Practice Factor - Support Practice Factor is the ratio of soil loss with a support practice like strip cropping to that with a straight row farming up and down the slope.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sediment Yield from an Individual Storm: 135.7332 Kilogram --> 135.7332 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Runoff Volume: 19.5 Cubic Meter --> 19.5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Peak Rate of Runoff: 1.256 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.256 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Soil Erodibility Factor: 0.17 --> No Conversion Required
Cover Management Factor: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required
Support Practice Factor: 0.74 --> No Conversion Required

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_zt = Y/(11.8*((Q_V*q_p)^0.56)*K*C*P) --> 135.7332/(11.8*((19.5*1.256)^0.56)*0.17*0.61*0.74)

Evaluating ... ...

K_zt = 25.0000008903853

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

25.0000008903853 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

25.0000008903853 ≈ 25 <-- Topographic factor
