Question:Solve equation with paramaters in Maple

Hi all,

I've got the following Maple math code (its called the 'Strickler function', giving a relation between water hight 'y' in a channel and other paramaters), that works like a charm and correctly outputs my function Q =

> restart;
> A := (b+m*y)*y;
> R := A/(b+2*y*sqrt(1+m^2));
> Q := k*A*R^(2/3)*s^(1/2);

However, all contants in the functions are know, except for 'y' (Q is known as well). How do I solve the last equation for 'y' without assigning values to the different constants and using solve? So I want to get an expression for 'y =' that contains all the other paramaters (Q, m, b and s) that I can use in other sofware (e.q. excel) or on my calculator.

Thanks in advance!

Scott
