Specific Force Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Specific Force?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

F = (Q \cdot \frac{Q}{A cs \cdot [g]}) + A cs \cdot Y t

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

F = (14m³/s \cdot \frac{14m³/s}{15m² \cdot [g]}) + 15m² \cdot 20.2m

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

F = (14m³/s \cdot \frac{14m³/s}{15m² \cdot 9.8066m/s²}) + 15m² \cdot 20.2m

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

F = (14 \cdot \frac{14}{15 \cdot 9.8066}) + 15 \cdot 20.2

Next Step Evaluate

∴

F = 304.332429184958m³

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

F = 304.3324m³

How to Evaluate Specific Force?

Specific Force evaluator uses Specific Force in OCF = (Discharge of Channel*Discharge of Channel/(Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*[g]))+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal to evaluate the Specific Force in OCF, The Specific Force is defined as the non-gravitational force per unit mass. Specific force (also called g-force and mass-specific force) is measured in meters/second² (m·s−2) which is the units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually a force, but a type of acceleration. Specific Force in OCF is denoted by F symbol.

How to evaluate Specific Force using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Specific Force, enter Discharge of Channel (Q), Cross-Sectional Area of Channel (A_cs) & Distance from Centroidal (Y_t) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Specific Force

What is the formula to find Specific Force?

The formula of Specific Force is expressed as Specific Force in OCF = (Discharge of Channel*Discharge of Channel/(Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*[g]))+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal. Here is an example- 74.55836 = (14*14/(15*[g]))+15*20.2.

How to calculate Specific Force?

With Discharge of Channel (Q), Cross-Sectional Area of Channel (A_cs) & Distance from Centroidal (Y_t) we can find Specific Force using the formula - Specific Force in OCF = (Discharge of Channel*Discharge of Channel/(Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*[g]))+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal. This formula also uses Gravitational acceleration on Earth constant(s).

What are the other ways to Calculate Specific Force in OCF?

Here are the different ways to Calculate Specific Force in OCF-

Specific Force in OCF=((Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^2)/Top Width)+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal

Can the Specific Force be negative?

No, the Specific Force, measured in Volume cannot be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Specific Force?

Specific Force is usually measured using the Cubic Meter[m³] for Volume. Cubic Centimeter[m³], Cubic Millimeter[m³], Liter[m³] are the few other units in which Specific Force can be measured.
