Ocean currents are caused by density differences in the water and move water masses through the deep ocean

Currents may also be generated by density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations. These currents move water masses through the deep ocean—taking nutrients, oxygen, and heat with them.

1) The object slows down due to kinetic friction.
2) The coefficient of kinetic friction is higher on a carpet than on the bare floor, therefore the object would slow down quicker on the carpet

A swimming pool is 50 ft wide and 100 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 4 ft and th
Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

We define force as the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

It means that the object has zero net force when it is in rest state or it when it has no acceleration. However in the case of liquids. just like the above mentioned case, the water is at rest but it is still exerting a pressure on the walls of the swimming pool. That pressure exerted by the liquids in their rest state is known as hydro static force.

Given Data:

Width of the pool = w = 50 ft

length of the pool = l= 100 ft

Depth of the shallow end = h(s) = 4 ft

Depth of the deep end = h(d) = 10 ft.

weight density = ρg = 62.5 lb/ft

Solution:

a) Force on a shallow end:

F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)

F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(4)}{2}(2(0)+4)

F = 25000 lb

b) Force on deep end:

F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)

F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(10)}{2} (2(0)+10)

F = 187500 lb

c) Force on one of the sides:

As it is mentioned in the question that the bottom of the swimming pool is an inclined plane so sum of the forces on the rectangular part and triangular part will give us the force on one of the sides of the pool.

1) Force on the Rectangular part:

F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{2}(2(x_{1} )+ h)

x_{1} = 0\\h_{s} = 4ft

F = \frac{(62.5)(100)(2)}{2}(2(0)+4)

F =25000lb

2) Force on the triangular part:

F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{6} (3x_{1} +2h)

here

h = h(d) - h(s)

h = 10-4

h = 6ft

x_{1} = 4ft\\

F = \frac{62.5 (100)(6)}{6} (3(4)+2(6))

F = 150000 lb

now add both of these forces,

F = 25000lb + 150000lb

F = 175000lb

d) Force on the bottom:

F = \frac{pgw\sqrt{l^{2} + ((h_{d}) - h(s)) } (h_{d}+h_{s})   }{2}

F = \frac{62.5(50)\sqrt{100^{2}(10-4) } (10+4) }{2}

F = 2187937.5 lb
