Two advantages: long term renewable energy and decreased carbon emissions compared to other sources.

Two disadvantages: very expensive to build and negative impacts to marine life.  

Before it could be recommended or not: Does the stream have the pressure required? What is the return on investment and over what duration factoring maintenance and potential negative impacts such as flooding should there be a problem.

2 disadvantages would be damage to Marine life and hydroelectric plants are very expensive.If they plant is not stable and breaks it can cause flash floods and property damage.2 advantages would be that they do not emit any carbon emmissions.Some cities cannot build hydroelectric power plants because  the stream does not have that kind of pressure .so really it matters greatly on where the dam would be placed. but sunny places like arizonasolar plant would be great

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 12 meters apart. When a mass of 4 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
Olegator [25]

Answer:

T=26.03 N

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between poles = 12 m

Mass of block m= 4 kg

Sag distance = 5 m

Lets take tension in the clothesline is T.

The component of tension in vertical direction will be T cosθ.

By force balancing

2 T cosθ = 40

here tan\theta =\dfrac{5}{6}

θ=39.80°

2 T cos39.8 = 40

T=26.03 N

A cylindrical piece of aluminum is 6.00cm y’all and 2.00cm in radius how much does it weigh
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2.00 N

Explanation:

Weight is mass times gravity:

W = mg

Mass is density times volume:

m = ρV

Volume of a cylinder is:

V = πr²h

Finding the volume:

V = π (2.00 cm)² (6.00 cm)

V = 75.4 cm³

The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm³.  Finding the mass:

m = (2.7 g/cm³) (75.4 cm³)

m = 204 g

Finding the weight:

W = (0.204 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

W = 2.00 N

The aluminum cylinder weighs 2.00 N.
