Additional Length Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Additional Length?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
l'c=([g]AC(Tr22π)2As)-Lch
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
l'c=([g]0.2(19.3s2π)230)-40m
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
l'c=(9.8066m/s²0.2(19.3s23.1416)230)-40m
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
l'c=(9.80660.2(19.323.1416)230)-40
Next Step Evaluate
l'c=20.0874520540313m
LAST Step Rounding Answer
l'c=20.0875m

Constants
Additional Length of the Channel
Additional Length of the Channel refers to the extra distance required in a channel or conduit to accommodate certain flow characteristics or conditions.
Symbol: l'c
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cross Sectional Area
Cross Sectional Area is the area of the channel when viewed in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flow.
Symbol: AC
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Resonant Period
Resonant Period is the natural period of oscillation at which a body of water or a structure responds most strongly to external forcing.
Symbol: Tr2
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Surface Area
Surface Area is the extent of a two-dimensional surface within a three-dimensional space. This surface can pertain to various natural and man-made structures and phenomena.
Symbol: As

How to Evaluate Additional Length?

Additional Length evaluator uses Additional Length of the Channel = ([g]*Cross Sectional Area*(Resonant Period/2*pi)^2/Surface Area)-Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode) to evaluate the Additional Length of the Channel, The Additional Length formula is defined as the extended length of a structure or an element beyond its primary or original design length. This concept can apply to various aspects such as pipelines, breakwaters, groynes, jetties, or any coastal defense structure. Additional Length of the Channel is denoted by l'c symbol.

How to evaluate Additional Length using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Additional Length, enter Cross Sectional Area (AC), Resonant Period (Tr2), Surface Area (As) & Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode) (Lch) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Additional Length

What is the formula to find Additional Length?
The formula of Additional Length is expressed as Additional Length of the Channel = ([g]*Cross Sectional Area*(Resonant Period/2*pi)^2/Surface Area)-Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode). Here is an example- 1161.669 = ([g]*0.2*(19.3/2*pi)^2/30)-40.
How to calculate Additional Length?
With Cross Sectional Area (AC), Resonant Period (Tr2), Surface Area (As) & Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode) (Lch) we can find Additional Length using the formula - Additional Length of the Channel = ([g]*Cross Sectional Area*(Resonant Period/2*pi)^2/Surface Area)-Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode). This formula also uses Gravitational acceleration on Earth, Archimedes' constant .
Can the Additional Length be negative?
No, the Additional Length, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Additional Length?
Additional Length is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Additional Length can be measured.
