Answer:

F = [P_a + \rho g(H-x)]Ldx

here

P_a = atmospheric pressure

L = length of dam wall

H = height of water in the dam

\rho = density of water

Explanation:

Let the length of the wall is "L"

Now here we know that pressure due to liquid filled in the dam at given position is given as

Let say the height of water in the dam is "H"

now the wall height where we took a small element is at height "x" from bottom

So pressure at that position is given due to water is

P = \rho g (H - x) + P_a

here we know

\rho = density of water

H - x = height measured from the top surface

P_a = atmospheric pressure

now we have to find the Force on the wall

so here area of the element is given as

A = Ldx

now force is given as

F = [P_a + \rho g(H-x)]Ldx

The force on the layer will be equivalent to the weight of water on it. This is given by:
F = mg; m is the mass of water and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Match the layers of the atmosphere with the description that best matches it according to the graph titled Temperature Profile.
Finger [1]
The correct matches are as follows:

<span>Troposphere
A) Layer closest to the Earth where all weather occurs

Mesosphere
</span>C) temperature remains constant as elevation increases<span>

Mesopause
</span>D) temperature remains at a constant zero degrees Celsius as elevation increases<span>


Stratosphere
</span>E) begins between 50-60km and decreases in temperature as elevation increases <span>


Stratopause
</span> B) temperature increases as elevation increases


Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go up in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? If I were to fill
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

a. It would shrink

b. It would expand

Explanation:

a. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, when we go up in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go higher. Since the atmospheric pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the atmosphere are greater than that exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle, this causes the volume of the water bottle to decrease and thus shrinks the water bottle until the pressure balances out

b. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure increases with decreasing altitude, when we go down in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go lower. The water bottle expands until the atmospheric pressure outside equals the pressure inside the water bottle.this causes the volume of the water bottle to increase and thus expands the water bottle until the pressure balances out
