Width of Section given Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Width of Section of Rect Channel = (2*Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle*Depth of Flow of Channel)/(Depth of Flow of Channel-Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle)
Brect = (2*RH(rect)*Df)/(Df-RH(rect))
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Width of Section of Rect Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Section of Rect Channel is the width of the rectangular cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.
Depth of Flow of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of Channel is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Hydraulic Radius of Rectangle: 2.6 Meter --> 2.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow of Channel: 5.2 Meter --> 5.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Brect = (2*RH(rect)*Df)/(Df-RH(rect)) --> (2*2.6*5.2)/(5.2-2.6)
Evaluating ... ...
Brect = 10.4
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
10.4 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
10.4 Meter <-- Width of Section of Rect Channel
