Unit Weight of Water given Total Thrust from Water Retained behind Wall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
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

Thrust from Water: 16 Kilonewton per Meter --> 16000 Newton per 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

γ_w = (2*T_W/(H_w)^2) --> (2*16000/(1.8)^2)

Evaluating ... ...

γ_w = 9876.54320987654

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9876.54320987654 Newton per Cubic Meter -->9.87654320987654 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9.87654320987654 ≈ 9.876543 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Water

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
