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.

Suppose the electrostatic force between two electrons is F. What is the electrostatic force between an electron and a proton
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

D. −F

Explanation:

the rest of the answers are

2/3F

The force is represented as a positive quantity and is repulsive.

Electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

The direction of the force changes, and the magnitude of the force quadruples.

hope this helps sorry if i was too late! :)

What is the mass of an object that has an acceleration of 2.63m/s2 when a unbalanced force of 112N is applied to it?
exis [7]

Answer:

42.58kg

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, F = ma.

F is the force being applied, in this case 112N. a is the acceleration, in this case 2.63 m/s^2.

Thus, with some simple algebraic manipulation, we get the mass to equal:

m = F/a = 112N / 2.63 m/s^2 = 42.58kg
