Answer:
The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.
Explanation:
The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:
Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)
Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)
Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)
<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>
Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>
This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.
Answer:
F₂= 210 pounds
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
Hooke's law
Hooke's law establishes that the elongation (x) of a spring is directly proportional to the magnitude of force (F) applied to it, provided that said spring is not permanently deformed:
F= K*x Formula (1)
Where;
F is the magnitude of the force applied to the spring in Newtons (Pounds)
K is the elastic spring constant, which relates force and elongation. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring. (Pounds/inch)
x the elongation of the spring (inch)
Data
The data given is incorrect because if we apply them the answer would be illogical.
The correct data are as follows:
F₁ =80 pounds
x₁= 8 inches
x₂= 21 inches
Problem development
We replace data in formula 1 to calculate K :
F₁= K*x₁
K=( F₁) / (x₁)
K=( 80) / (8) = 10 pounds/ inche
We apply The formula 1 to calculate F₂
F₂= K*x₂
F₂= (10)*(21)
F₂= 210 pounds
The weight of air resting on a surface, divided by the area
of the surface ... described in units of force per unit area ...
is called air pressure.
