In what unit of measurement is discharge usually measured when referring to water flow

History
1 answer:
loris [4]2 years ago
5 0
The discharge<span> of a stream is the product of its velocity </span><span>(V </span>- length of travel per unit of time such as feet/second) times depth of the water (D<span> - unit of length) times width (</span>W of the water<span>- units of length). (Make sure all all three lengths are expressed in the same unit.)</span><span><span>
Discharge = V x D x W</span>If length is measured in feet and time in seconds, Discharge has units of <span>feet3/sec</span> or cubic feet per second (cfs).Depth times Width gives the cross-sectional area. The shape of the channel is important because of the reduction in velocity due to friction along the channel margins. In a natural situation, an increase in discharge (cubic feet/second) will result in an increase in all three parameters - the river becomes wider, deeper and flows at a higher velocity.</span>

How were early humans Marginal and disadvantaged among animals at first?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Since they didn't have access to advanced stone tool technologies, they were forced to scavenge meat off larger and stronger predators. Humans weren't fast or strong, disadvantaging them in the food chain. However, as they advanced technologically, they were able to rise up the food chain.
