Flood Discharge by Dicken's Formula in FPS unit Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Discharge in cusecs = Constant FPS*(Area of Basin)^(3/4)
Q1 = C1*(A1)^(3/4)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Discharge in cusecs - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge in cusecs is defined as the volumetric flow rate in F.P.S unit.
Constant FPS - Constant FPS unit is used and depend upon catchment.
Area of Basin - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Basin which is also known as catchment area.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Constant FPS: 0.18 --> No Conversion Required
Area of Basin: 2 Square Mile --> 5179976.220672 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Q1 = C1*(A1)^(3/4) --> 0.18*(5179976.220672)^(3/4)
Evaluating ... ...
Q1 = 19544.2194155916
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
19544.2194155916 Cubic Meter per Second -->690197.594984981 Cubic Foot per Second (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
690197.594984981 690197.6 Cubic Foot per Second <-- Discharge in cusecs
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
