Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Discharge = Constant Metric Unit*(Catchment Area for Flood Discharge)^(3/4)
Q = Cm*(Aflood discharge)^(3/4)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Constant Metric Unit - Constant Metric Unit is used and depend upon catchment.
Catchment Area for Flood Discharge - (Measured in Square Meter) - Catchment Area for Flood Discharge is an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Constant Metric Unit: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Catchment Area for Flood Discharge: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Q = Cm*(Aflood discharge)^(3/4) --> 0.5*(2)^(3/4)
Evaluating ... ...
Q = 0.840896415253715
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.840896415253715 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.840896415253715 0.840896 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
