Answer:
The force is
Explanation:
The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image
From the question we are told that
The weight of the gate is
The vertical component of F is
From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have
Where is the weight of the gate evaluated as
=>
=>
=>
Force applied by the machine to over come resistance
I think u should follow the formulae F=MA. So I think the answer is 120N
Answer:
1. 0.574 kJ/kg
2. 315.7 MW
Explanation:
1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:
Where:
Ek is the kinetic energy
Ep is the potential energy
v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s
g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h is the height = 58 m
Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.
2. The power generation potential on the river is:
Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.
I hope it helps you!
