Answer:

The hydro static force on the back of the dam is $1.96\times10^{11}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Width b= 1000 m

Depth d= 200 m

We need to calculate the average pressure

Using formula of average pressure

$P_{avg}=\rho\times g\times d_{avg}$

Put the value into the formula

$P_{avg}=1000\times9.8\times100$

$P_{avg}=980000\ Pa$

We need to calculate the hydro static force on the back of the dam

Using formula of force

$F = P_{avg}\times A$

Put the value into the formula

$F = 980000\times1000\times200$

$F=1.96\times10^{11}\ N$

Hence, The hydro static force on the back of the dam is $1.96\times10^{11}\ N$

A mass weighing 4 lb stretches a spring 2 in. Suppose that the mass is given an additional 6-in displacement in the positive dir

givi [52]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0$

Explanation:

The standard form of the 2nd order differential equation governing the motion of mass-spring system is given by

$my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0$

Where m is the mass, ζ is the damping constant, and k is the spring constant.

The spring constant k can be found by

$w - kL=0$

$mg - kL=0$

$4 - k\frac{1}{6}=0$

$k = 4\times 6 =24$

The damping constant can be found by

$F = -\zeta y'$

$6 = 3\zeta$

$\zeta = \frac{6}{3} = 2$

Finally, the mass m can be found by

$w = 4$

$mg=4$

$m = \frac{4}{g}$

Where g is approximately 32 ft/s²

$m = \frac{4}{32} = \frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, the required differential equation is

$my'' + \zeta y' + ky=0$

$\frac{1}{8} y'' + 2y' + 24y=0$

The initial position is

$y(0) = \frac{1}{2}$

The initial velocity is

$y'(0) = 0$

The volume occupied by a sample of gas is 480 mL when the pressure is 115 kPa.What pressure must be applied to the gas to make i

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>84.9 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law to find the final pressure

That's

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final pressure

$P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

From the question

P1 = 115 kPa

V1 = 480 mL

V2 = 650 ml

So we have

$P_2 = \frac{115000 \times 480}{650} = \frac{55200000}{650} \\ = 84923.076923...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>84.9 kPa</h3>

Hope this helps you
