How to Evaluate Specific Force given Top Width?

Specific Force given Top Width evaluator uses Specific Force in OCF = ((Cross-Sectional Area of Channel^2)/Top Width)+Cross-Sectional Area of Channel*Distance from Centroidal to evaluate the Specific Force in OCF, The Specific Force given Top Width is defined as 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 units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually force, but type of acceleration. Specific Force in OCF is denoted by F symbol.

How to evaluate Specific Force given Top Width using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Specific Force given Top Width, enter Cross-Sectional Area of Channel (Acs), Top Width (T) & Distance from Centroidal (Yt) and hit the calculate button.
