Answer:

The gate will open if the height of water is equal to or more than 0.337m.

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, (as seen from the reference question found on google)

The forces are given as

Force on OA

F_1=P A_1\\F_1=\rho g \bar{h} A_{OA}

Here

  • ρ  is the density of water.
  • g is the gravitational acceleration constant
  • \bar{h} is the equivalent height given as

         \bar{h}=h+\frac{0.6}{2}\\\bar{h}=h+0.3

  • A_{OA} is the area of the OA part of the door which is calculated as follows:

       A_{OA}=L\times W\\A_{OA}=1\times 0.6\\A_{OA}=0.6 m^2

The  Force is given as

F_1=0.6\rho g[h+0.3]

Force on OB

F_2=P A_2\\F_2=\rho g \bar{h} A_{OB}

Here

  • ρ  is the density of water.
  • g is the gravitational acceleration constant
  • \bar{h} is the equivalent height given as

         \bar{h}=h+0.6+\frac{0.4}{2}\\\bar{h}=h+0.8

  • A_{OA} is the area of the OB part of the door which is calculated as follows:

       A_{OB}=L\times W\\A_{OB}=1\times 0.4\\A_{OB}=0.4 m^2

The  Force is given as

F_2=0.4\rho g[h+0.8]

Now the moment arms are given as

\bar{y}_a=\bar{h}+\frac{I}{A\bar{h}}\\\bar{y}_a=h+0.3+\frac{\frac{1}{12}\times 0.6^3 \times 1}{0.6 \times[h+0.3]}\\\bar{y}_a=h+0.3+\frac{0.03}{h+0.3}

\bar{y}_b=\bar{h}+\frac{I}{A\bar{h}}\\\bar{y}_b=h+0.8+\frac{\frac{1}{12}\times 0.4^3 \times 1}{0.4 \times[h+0.8]}\\\bar{y}_b=h+0.8+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8}

Taking moment about the point O as zero

F_1(h+0.6-\bar{y}_a)=F_2(\bar{y}_b-h+0.6)\\F_1(h+0.6-h-0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=F_2(h+0.8+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8}-h-0.6)\\F_1(0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=F_2(0.2+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8})\\0.6\rho g[h+0.3](0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=0.4\rho g[h+0.8](0.2+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8})\\0.6[h+0.3](0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=0.4[h+0.8](0.2+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8})\\0.18h -0.054-0.018=0.08h+0.064+0.00533\\h=0.337 m

So the gate will open if the height of water is equal to or more than 0.337m.

A long coaxial cable consists of an inner cylindrical conductor with radius a and an outer coaxial cylinder with inner radius b
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Part a)

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

Part b)

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

Part d)

As we know that due to induction of charge there will be same charge appear on the inner and outer surface of the cylinder but the sign of the charge must be different

On the inner side of the cylinder there will be negative charge induce on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the cylinder there will be same magnitude charge with positive sign.

Explanation:

Part a)

By Guass law we know that

\int E. dA = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

E. 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

Part b)

Outside the outer cylinder we will again use Guass law

\int E. dA = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

E. 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

Part d)

As we know that due to induction of charge there will be same charge appear on the inner and outer surface of the cylinder but the sign of the charge must be different

On the inner side of the cylinder there will be negative charge induce on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the cylinder there will be same magnitude charge with positive sign.

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 150 g of oxygen from -30c to -15c?
Naddika [18.5K]
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is its specific heat capacity
\Delta T is the increase in temperature

For oxygen, the specific heat capacity is approximately 
C_s = 0.92 J/(g K)
The variation of temperature for the sample in our problem is 
\Delta T= -15^{\circ}C-(-30^{\circ} C)=+15^{\circ}C=15 K
while the mass is m=150 g, so the amount of heat needed is
Q=m C_s \Delta T=(150 g)(0.92 J/g K)(15 K)=2070 J

Two 1.9 kg masses are 1.1 m apart (center to center) on a frictionless table. Each has + 9.6 μC of charge.
Anni [7]

Answer:

F= 0.6 N

Explanation:

Fe(electrical force)=k q1q2/r^2

    k=9*10^9\\q1=-9.6 *10^-6 C\\q2= -9.6*10^-6 C\\r= 1.1m

So,    

        F=\frac{9*10^9*-9.6 *10^-6 C* -9.6*10^-6 C}{1.1^2}

         F= 0.6 N

A ball is rolled of a 2.14m table at 8m/s. Find the time of flight for the ball and the horizontal range
Mama L [17]

Answer:

0.661 s, 5.29 m

Explanation:

In the y direction:

Δy = 2.14 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(2.14 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.661 s

In the x direction:

v₀ = 8 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.661 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (8 m/s) (0.661 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.661 s)²

Δx = 5.29 m

Round as needed.
