A 12m long gate that is 4 m wide is placed against a body of water at an angle of 60 degrees. The gate is being pulled by a rope

placed 3 m from the top of the gate at 60 kN. If the water is 9 m deep, what is the minimum weight of the gate that will cause it to rotate clockwise

Answer:

Since the weight cannot take a negative value, it is concluded that the minimum weight required for the gate is zero, because the same pressure force will rotate the gate.

Explanation:

Given:

L = 12 m

F = 60 kN

w = 4 m

H = 9 m

The pressure force is:

F_{p} =\rho gAx=1000*9.8*\frac{9}{sin60} *4*\frac{9}{2} =1833.203kN

The center of pressure is:

h=\frac{\frac{(\frac{9}{sin60})^{3} *4 }{12}*sin^{2}60  }{\frac{9}{sin60}*4*\frac{9}{2}  } +\frac{9}{2} =6

If the moment is equal to zero,

F_{p} *(9-6)+W*\frac{L}{2} cos60=F*9\\1833.203*3+W*6*cos60=60*9\\W=-1653.2kN

A spring with spring-constant of 100 n/m is compressed 0.10 m. what is its maximum stored elastic potential energy
Ganezh [65]

Elastic potential energy stored in a spring is

(1/2) · (spring constant) · (stretch or compress)² .

PE = (1/2) · (100 N/m) · (0.1 m)²

PE = (50 N/m) · (0.01 m²)

PE = (50 · 0.01) (N · m / m²)

PE = 0.5 N · m

PE = 0.5 Joule

List the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength
Lilit [14]
The rays of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, optical rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

EDIT: He has these backwards, the shortest wavelength is created by Gamma-Rays and the longest is Radiowaves.

<span> Remember- high energy = short wavelength. </span>

A rock of mass m is thrown straight up into the air with initial speed |v0 | and initial position y = 0 and it rises up to a max
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Case 1:

mass = m

initial velocity = vo

final velocity = 0

height = y

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2as

0 = vo² - 2 g y

y = vo² / 2g       ... (1)

Case 2:

mass = 2m

initial velocity = 2vo

final velocity = 0

height = y '

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 4vo² - 2 g y'

y ' = 4vo² / 2g

y' = 4 y

Thus, the second rock reaches the 4 times the distance traveled by the first rock.

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.
