A rectangular dam is 101 ft long and 54 ft high. If the water is 35 ft deep, find the force of the water on the dam (the density

of water is 62.4 lb/ft3).

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the pressure through density and average depth. Later we will find the Force, by means of the relation of the pressure and the area.

P = \rho h

Here,

h = Depth average

\rho = Density

Moreover,

\text{Density of water}= \rho = 62.4lb/ft^3

Replacing,

P = (62.4lb/ft^3)(\frac{35}{2}ft)

P = 1092 lb/ft^2

Finally the force

\text{Force} = \text{Pressure}\times \text{Area of dam with water acting on it}

F = 1092lb/ft^2(101ft*52ft)

F = 5.735*10^6lbf

A rock is attached to the left end of a uniform meter stick that has the same mass as the rock. How far from the left end of the
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

M₂ = M  then L₂ = L

M₂> M  then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Explanation:

This is a static equilibrium exercise, to solve it we must fix a reference system at the turning point, generally in the center of the rod. By convention counterclockwise turns are considered positive

          ∑ τ = 0

           

The mass of the rock is M and placed at a distance, L the mass of the rod M₁, is considered to be placed in its center of mass, which by uniform e is in its geometric center (x = 0) and the triangular mass M₂, with a distance L₂

The triangular shape of the second object determines that its mass can be considered concentrated in its geometric center (median) that tapers with a vertical line if the triangle is equilateral, the most used shape in measurements.

         M L + M₁ 0 - m₂ L₂ = 0

         M L - m₂ L₂ = 0

         L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

From this answer we have several possibilities

* if the two masses are equal then L₂ = L

* If the masses are different, with M₂> M then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

If temp. gets cold resistance in thermostat increases so voltage across it increases AND LED lights brighter. I understand every
Valentin [98]

Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller.  This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.

The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor.  It's a "thermistor".  The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor.  These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder.  I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.

When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change.  Either way, the voltage across B increases.  Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.

This circuit could actually be a very useful device.  If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.

If there are two photons with different energies, the one that has a higher energy (a) has the higher frequency (b) has the high
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(a) has the highest frequency

Explanation:

E = hf...where E(is the energy of a photon);h(is the planck's constant) and f is the frequency of the photon

Whereby this formula shows us that energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency

So hence if the energy is high then the frequency of the photon is also high

What happens when two waves meet
olganol [36]

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individualwaves upon the particles of the medium.Hope this help!
