Liquid Specific Weight in Uniform Flow in Channels Formulas

Liquid Specific Weight is also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of the liquid. For Example - Specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3. And is denoted by γ_l. Liquid Specific Weight is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Cubic Meter for Specific Weight. Note that the value of Liquid Specific Weight is always negative.
