A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m

A electric heater that draws 13.5 a of dc current has been left on for 10 min. how many electrons that have passed through the h
kicyunya [14]
By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit  of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:

13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C 

Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons

Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/
Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
