Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Water Depth
Water Depth is the vertical distance from the surface of a water body (such as an ocean, sea, or lake) to the bottom.
Symbol: D
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Gravitational acceleration on Earth
Gravitational acceleration on Earth means that the velocity of an object in free fall will increase by 9.8 m/s2 every second.
Symbol: [g]
Value: 9.80665 m/s²
sqrt
