<span>Answer: Because rock is more dense than water

Lithostatic pressure is pressure caused by soil or rock. It similar to hydrostatic pressure, the pressure caused by water. Pressure is force per area and force is dependent on the mass. Rock is denser than water, thus having more mass and more force.</span>

You are trying to climb a castle wall so, from the ground, you throw a hook with a rope attached to it at 24.1 m/s at an angle o
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The value is  h  =  13.2 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The speed of the rope with hook is u =  24 .1 \  m/s

     The angle is  \theta = 65.0^o

      The speed at which it hits top of the wall is  v  =  16.3 m/s

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v_y^2  =  u_y ^2 + *  2 (-g)* h

Here h is the height of the wall so

      [16.3 sin (65)]^2 =  [24.1 sin (65)] ^2+   2 (-9.8)* h

=>    h  =  13.2 \  m
