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

While playing her guitar , karen plucks one string with increasing levels of force. What effect does this have on the sound prod
Lena [83]

Answer:

The amplitude of vibration of string will increase due to which loudness of sound will increase

Explanation:

As we know that the guitar is based on the principle of Resonance. When string of the guitar vibrates at a given frequency then the sound produced in the hollow part of the guitar will also be at same frequency.

This is known as resonance condition, so guitar will produce same frequency sound as that of frequency of string.

Now if the string is plucked with increasing level of force then it will increase the amplitude of vibrations of the string due to which the sound produced in the guitar will also be of same level.

So here we can say that amplitude and intensity of sound related as

I = kA^2

so on increasing amplitude the intensity will increase and hence it will produce loud sound

Un movil avanza a 20 m/s y recorre una distancia de 800 km. Determinar el tiempo en horas que utiliza
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

t = 11.1 hours

Explanation:

The question says that, "A mobile advances at 20 m / s and travels a distance of 800 km. Determine the time in hours you use".

Given that,

Speed of a mobile, v = 20 m/s = 72 km/h

Distance, d = 800 km

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{800}{72}\\\\t=11.1\ h

So, it will take 11.1 hours.
