Hydraulic Mean Radius of Channel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Hydraulic mean depth = (Cross-Sectional Area/Wetted Perimeter)
m = (Acs/P)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Hydraulic mean depth - (Measured in Meter) - The Hydraulic mean depth is defined as the area of the flow section divided by the top water surface width.
Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Wetted Perimeter - (Measured in Meter) - Wetted Perimeter is defined as the surface of the channel bottom and sides in direct contact with the aqueous body.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Cross-Sectional Area: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Wetted Perimeter: 80 Meter --> 80 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
m = (Acs/P) --> (13/80)
Evaluating ... ...
m = 0.1625
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.1625 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.1625 Meter <-- Hydraulic mean depth
