Width of Tank given Settling Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width = (Discharge/(Settling Velocity*Length))
w = (Q/(v_s*L))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = (Q/(v_s*L)) --> (1.01/(1.5*3))

Evaluating ... ...

w = 0.224444444444444

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.224444444444444 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.224444444444444 ≈ 0.224444 Meter <-- Width
