Answer:

864 KN

Explanation:

(Absolute pressure) = (Atmospheric pressure) + (Gauge Pressure)

Atmospheric pressure = 95 KPa = 95000 Pa

Gauge Pressure = ρgh

ρ = density of the fluid = 1000 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = depth below the fluid level that the object is at = 5 m

Gauge Pressure = 1000 × 9.8 × 5 = 49000 Pa

Absolute pressure = 95000 + 49000 = 144000 Pa.

Pressure = (Hydrostatic force)/(Area perpendicular to the force)

Hydrostatic force = (Pressure) × (Area perpendicular to the force)

Area perpendicular to the force = 2 × 3 = 6 m²

Hydrostatic force on the top of the plate = 144000 × 6 = 864000 N = 864 KN

Hope this Helps!!!

At the local playground, a 21-kg child sits on the right end of a horizontal teeter-totter, 1.8 m from the pivot point. On the l
Alja [10]

Answer:

Counterclockwise

Explanation:

We need to calculate the clocwkise and the counterclockwise torque.

The clockwise torque is the one generated by the child sitting on the right. This torque is given by:

M_C = F d

where

F=mg=(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=205.8 N is the force exerted by the child (his weight)

d = 1.8 m is the distance from the pivot point

So, the clockwise torque is

M_C = (205.8 N)(1.8 m)=370.4 Nm

The counterclockwise torque is the one generated by the adult pushing on the left, and it is given by

M_A = F d

where

F = 151 N is the force applied

d = 3.0 m is the distance from the pivot

Substituting,

M_A = (151 N)(3.0 m)=453 Nm

So, the net torque is

M_A - M_C = 453 Nm - 370.4 Nm=82.6 Nm

And since the counterclockwise momentum is greater than the clockwise one, the teeter-totter will rotate counterclockwise.

A viscous fluid is flowing through two horizontal pipes. The pressure difference P1 - P2 between the ends of each pipe is the sa
777dan777 [17]

Answer:half of shorter Pipe

Explanation:

Fluid is Flowing through two horizontal pipes with pressure difference

P_1-P_2=\Delta P

Both pipes have same radius

Length of one Pipe is twice of other

Let Longer Pipe be denote by 1 and smaller by 2

From Hagen Poiseuille equation

\Delta P=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}

Where \mu =viscosity of medium

L=length of Pipe

Q=discharge

D=diameter

For longer Pipe

\Delta P=\frac{128\mu 2L\cdot Q_1}{\pi \cdot D^4}----1

For smaller Pipe

\Delta P=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q_2}{\pi \cdot D^4}------2

From  1 &  2 we get

2L\cdot Q_1=L\cdot Q_2

Q_2=2Q_1

volume flow rate of longer pipe is half of smaller pipe

Mechanics: design a decision tree to determine if an object is experiencing an unbalanced force, and using newton's laws of moti
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The decision designer is a step-wise process

Explanation:

A typical decision tree will be like this:

Are there any forces?

YES - then calculate the resultant forces              NO - Then no calculations are needed

IF YES - Are the forces balanced?                         NO - Then no calculations

IF YES - Then calculations can be done.

Resolve the forces to find the resultant of the forces in the question.
