The force exerted on a bridge pier in a river is to be tested in a 1:10 scale model using water as the working fluid. In the pro

totype the depth of water is 2.0 m, the velocity of flow is 1.5 m/s and the width of the river is 20 m. If the hydrodynamic force on the model bridge pier is 5 N, what would it be on the prototype? (hint: pressure ratio is equal to the length-scale ratio) (5 points; Ans: 5000 N)

Answer:

f_p = 5000 N

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

pressure ratio = length ratio

force = 5 N

scale = 1:10

velocity = 1.5 m/s

B_p = 20 m

h_p = 2m

As pressure ratio = length ratio so we have

\frac{p_m}{p_p} =\frac{l_m}{l_p} =\frac{1}{10}

\frac{f_m *A_m}{f_p *A_p} ==\frac{1}{10}

\frac{f_m}{f_p} * \frac{A_p}{A_m} = \frac{1}{10}

\frac{f_m}{f_p} * \frac{b_p*h_p}{b_m*h_m} =\frac{1}{10}

5 * \frac{1}{\frac{1}{10}} *\frac{1}{\frac{1}{10}} = \frac{f_p}{10}

solving F_p

f_p = 5000 N

Which. describe newtons law of univesel gravitation
Fed [463]

Newton's law of universal gravitation, says that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Or in simple words, every particle in the world attracts each other to themselves, but the particle with most mass would attract with more force compared to a particle with less mass.
