How does the long shape of submarines and torpedoes reduce the dragthey feel when moving under water?

In the front side of the submarines and torpedoes, the small area of contact is maintained to reduce the pressure or the drag force on the submarines due to the water.

The drag force in terms of the area of cross-section of the submarine is,

$F_d\propto A$

where F_d is the drag force acting on the submarine and A is the area of cross-section of a submarine in contact with the water,

There is also piped formation that takes place through which the water runs lengthwise while the submarine is moving in the forward direction, thus, reduces the force on the submarine due to the water.

Which number is 0.0069 expressed in scientific notation? 6.9 × 10 4 6.9 × 10 –6 6.9 × 10 –4 6.9 × 10 –3

Komok [63]

Given: The number = 0.0069 that has to be expressed in scientific notation

Concept: When we express any number in scientific notation then we shall consider two points.

(i) If we shift the decimal point from left to right after first (non-zero) digit then we count the number of shifted place of decimal and write them in terms of the negative power of 10. For example, 0.004789 = 4.789 ×10⁻³

(ii) If we shift the decimal point from right to left after first (non-zero) digit from the left end then we count the number of shifted place and write then in terms of the positive power of 10. For example, 4789.24 = 4.78924 ×10⁺³ = 4.78924 ×10³ Now, we shall convert the given number 0.0069 in scientific notation

0.0069 = 6.9 ×10⁻³ because we have shifted the decimal from left to right for three places that is after digit 6.

Hence, the last option 6.9 ×10⁻³ will be the correct option.
