Soil Erodibility Factor given Suspended Sediment Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Soil Erodibility Factor = Suspended Sediment Load/(Stream Discharge^Constant n)
K = Qs/(Q^n)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Soil Erodibility Factor - Soil Erodibility Factor is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact.
Suspended Sediment Load - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Suspended Sediment Load at the stations.
Stream Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Stream discharge is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area.
Constant n - Constant n is for the catchment to be determined by the effective rainfall of the catchment.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Suspended Sediment Load: 230 Ton (metric) per Day --> 2.66203703703704 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Stream Discharge: 2.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 2.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Constant n: 3 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
K = Qs/(Q^n) --> 2.66203703703704/(2.5^3)
Evaluating ... ...
K = 0.170370370370371
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.170370370370371 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.170370370370371 0.17037 <-- Soil Erodibility Factor
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
