1.17 A formula to estimate the volume rate of flow, Q, flowing over a dam of length, B, is given by the equation Q = 3.09BH 3/2 16 where H is the depth of the water above the top F of the dam (called the head). This formula gives Q in ft/s when B and H are in feet. Is the con- stant, 3.09, dimensionless? Would this equation be valid if units other than feet and seconds were used?
