Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Force acting on a dam is as follows.
F = .......... (1)
Now, when we double the depth then it means H is increasing 2 times and then the above relation will be as follows.
F' =
F' = ........... (2)
Now, dividing equation (1) by equation (2) as follows.
=
Cancelling the common terms we get the following.
=
4F = F'
Thus, we can conclude that if doubled the depth of the dam the hydrostatic force will be 4F.
