Total Thrust from Water Retained by Wall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thrust from Water = (0.5*Unit Weight of Water*(Height of Water)^2)
T_W = (0.5*γ_w*(H_w)^2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Thrust from Water - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Thrust from Water is the force exerted by a water flow on a surface, perpendicular to the direction of motion.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the ratio of total weight to the total volume of water.
Height of Water - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Water is the amount of water in vertical direction above the bottom of the wall.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Height of Water: 1.8 Meter --> 1.8 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_W = (0.5*γ_w*(H_w)^2) --> (0.5*9810*(1.8)^2)

Evaluating ... ...

T_W = 15892.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15892.2 Newton per Meter -->15.8922 Kilonewton per Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

15.8922 Kilonewton per Meter <-- Thrust from Water

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Unit Weight of Water?

The specific weight, also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a material. A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C, which is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3. The terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density.
