What are the three main types of stress in rock

Compression, shearing and tension are the three main types of stresses faced by rocks. In regards to the force of compression, external force acts on the rock to squeeze it until it disintegrates. In case of shearing, the rock is pulled in two opposite directions by force. This ultimately results in the rock breaking down into pieces. Tension is another force that pulls the rock, making it thin in the middle. This way the rock disintegrates as it becomes weaker and weaker in the middle. Most of the rocks present in the earths crust are hugely affected by these three forces.

Explanation:

Work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = $\rho A (h_{1} - h)g (h - h_{2})$ ......... (1)

It is known that when levels are same then height of the liquid is as follows.

h = $\frac{h_{1} + h_{2}}{2}$ ......... (2)

Putting value of equation (2) in equation (1) the overall formula will be as follows.

W = $\frac{1}{4} \rho gA(h_{1} - h_{2})^{2})$

= $\frac{1}{4} \times 1.23 g/cm^{3} \times 9.80 m/s^{2} \times 3.89 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}(1.76 m - 0.993 m)^{2})$

= 0.689 J

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gravitational force in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is 0.689 J.
