Which principle explains why the flame bends toward the wind?

1 answer:

4 0

Bernoulli principle
According to Bernoulli's principle, this faster moving air on the top has a lower pressure than the non-moving air on the bottom. With a greater pressure on the bottom of the paper there is also a greater force pushing up.

Solution:

With reference to Fig. 1

Let 'x' be the distance from the wall

Then for $\Delta$ DAC:

$tan\theta = \frac{d}{x}$

⇒ $\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}$

Now for the $\Delta$ BAC:

$tan\theta = \frac{d + h}{x}$

⇒ $\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x}$

Now, differentiating w.r.t x:

$\frac{d\theta }{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} - tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}]$

For maximum angle, $\frac{d\theta }{dx}$ = 0

Now,

0 = [/tex]\frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} - tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}][/tex]

0 = $\frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} -\frac{-d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}$

$\frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} = \frac{{d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}$

After solving the above eqn, we get

x = $\sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}$

The observer should stand at a distance equal to x = $\sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}$

Where does salt in the ocean come from

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Salt in the ocean comes from two sources: runoff from the land and openings in the seafloor. Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks.
