A gate in an irrigation canal is constructed in the form of a trapezoid 2 m wide at the bottom, 38 m wide at the top, and 2 m hi

gh. It is placed vertically in the canal so that the water just covers the gate. Find the hydrostatic force on one side of the gate.
Note that your answer should be in Newtons, and use g = 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:

Explanation:

Area of trapezoid =[(2 + 38) / 2 ] x 2 = 40 sq m .

Pressure at the centre of the trapezium

= h d g = 1 x 10³ x 9.8 N / m²  ( height of centre is 1 m )

= 9800 N /m²

Total force required = pressure at the centre x total area

9800 x 40 = 392 x 10³ N.

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a 3.45 g particle be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed
Pani-rosa [81]

     charge must be equal to 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

 In the question it is said that the particle remains stationary which means the the net force on the particle is zero. So, the counterbalancing forces must be equal which means weight is equal to upward electric force.

     →    Fnet =0

     →    mg =  qE

 substituting the values we get :

         0.00345 × 9.81 =  q × 590

   →       q = 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

    Hence the charge must be equal to   5.74 ×10⁻⁵.

If a girl is standing in front of a smooth surface from which a sound is reflected, the girl may hear
gavmur [86]
Near the surface of reflection, reflected wave may interfere with incident wave leading to production of constructive and as well as destructive interference. This in turn, can result to resonance as well as enhancement of the sound intensity as the waves of reflection adds to incident wave. Therefore, the girl would higher intensity of reflected waves as compared to incident waves.

Therefore, statement A is correct.

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength of the first light is  \lambda _ 1 =  587 \ nm

    The order of the first light that is being considered is  m_1  =  10

     The order of the second light that is being considered is  m_2  =  11

Generally the distance between the fringes for the first light is mathematically represented as

      y_1 =  \frac{ m_1  * \lambda_1 *  D}{d}

 Here  D is the distance from the screen

 and    d  is the distance of separation of the slit.

      For the second light the distance between the fringes is  mathematically represented as

         y_2 =  \frac{ m_2  * \lambda_2 *  D}{d}

Now given that both of the light are passed through the same double slit

       \frac{y_1}{y_2}  =  \frac{\frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1 * D}{d}  }{\frac{m_2 *  \lambda_2 * D}{d}  } = 1

=>    \frac{ m_1 *  \lambda _1  }{ m_2  *  \lambda_2} =  1

=>     \lambda_2 =  \frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1}{m_2}

=>    \lambda_2 =  \frac{10  *   587 *10^{-9}}{11}

=>   \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m
