A trough is filled with a liquid of density 810 kg/m3. The ends of the trough are equilateral triangles with sides 8 m long and

vertex at the bottom. Find the hydrostatic force on one end of the trough. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

Answer:

The hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

Explanation:

Given;

liquid density, ρ = 810 kg/m³

side of the equilateral triangle, L = 8m

acceleration due to gravity, g =  9.8 m/s²

Hydrostatic force is given as;

H = ρgh

where;

h is the vertical height of the equilateral triangle

Draw a line to bisect upper end of the trough, to the vertex at the bottom, this line is the height of the equilateral triangle.

let the half side of the triangle = x

x = ⁸/₂ = 4m

The half section of the triangle forms a right angled triangle

h² = 8² - 4²

h² = 48

h = √48

h = 6.928m

F = ρgh

F = 810 x 9.8 x 6.928

F = 54994.464 N

Therefore, the hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

What is the electric force acting between two charges of 0.0042 C and −0.0050 C that are 0.0030 m apart?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

A.−2.1 × 10^10 N

Explanation:

Using the formula;

E = k Q1Q2/d²

Where;

E is the electrical force  

k is the constant  

Q1, Q2 are the two charges  and

d is the distance between the two charges

Therefore;

E = (9 x 10^9) × (0.0042) × (-0.0050) / (0.0030)²  

 = -2.1 x 10^10 N

Therefore; electrical force acting between the two charges is -2.1 x 10^10 N.
