Answer:


(\rho*Q)/(\mu*h)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to establish the unit of each variable:


  • Q (flow rate)=[m^3/s]

  • \rho(density)=[kg/m^3]

  • h(depth)=[m]

  • \mu( viscosity )=[kg/m*s]

To eliminate
m^3 we need to multiply Q by
\rho. Then to eliminate kg we divide
\rho by
\mu. Finally, multiply
\mu by h we can let the constant dimensionless.
