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.

Calculate the electric field strength at a point at which a test charge of 0.30 coulombs experiences a force of 5.0 newtons.
SVEN [57.7K]

The strength of electric field E is 17 N / C.

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electric field strength is defined as the force per unit charge acting at a point in the given field. The equation for the strength of the electric field is given by

                     E = F / q

where E represents the electric field strength,

           F represents the force in newton,

           q represents the charge in coulomb.

Given the charge q = 0.30 coulombs

                   force F = 5.0 N

Electric field strength E = force / charge

                                        = 5.0 / 0.30

                                    E  = 16.66 = 17 N / C.

Gravity is defined as: Select one: a. an apple falling from a tree toward the ground. b. ability to accomplish a job with the le
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

c. natural force or pull toward the earth

Explanation:

Gravity of the earth is the force of attraction that it naturally possesses to attract any mass.

An apple falls on the earth due to this force of gravity.

The force of gravity near to the surface of the earth is given as:

F=m.g

where:

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

The variation of the gravitational force with height is given as:

F'=m.g'

where:

g'=g\times (1+\frac{h}{R} )^{-2}

where

R = radius of the earth \approx64000\ km

Temperature Dependence of the pH of pure Water
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

At 100°C, the pH of pure water is 6.14. That is the neutral point on the pH scale at this higher temperature. A solution with a pH of 7 at this temperature is slightly alkaline because its pH is a bit higher than the neutral value of 6.14.

In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at
ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.
