The water side of the wall of a 60-m-long dam is a quarter-circle with a radius of 7 m. Determine the hydrostatic force on the d

am and its line of action when the dam is filled to the rim. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3.

Answer:

26852726.19\ \text{N}

57.52^{\circ}

Explanation:

r = Radius of circle = 7 m

w = Width of dam = 60 m

h = Height of the dam will be half the radius = \dfrac{r}{2}

A = Area = rw

V = Volume = w\dfrac{\pi r^2}{4}

Horizontal force is given by

F_x=\rho ghA\\\Rightarrow F_x=1000\times 9.81\times \dfrac{7}{2}\times  7\times 60\\\Rightarrow F_x=14420700\ \text{N}

Vertical force is given by

F_y=\rho gV\\\Rightarrow F_y=1000\times 9.81\times 60\times \dfrac{\pi 7^2}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_y=22651982.59\ \text{N}

Resultant force is

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\sqrt{14420700^2+22651982.59^2}\\\Rightarrow F=26852726.19\ \text{N}

The hydrostatic force on the dam is 26852726.19\ \text{N}.

The direction is given by

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{F_y}{F_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{22651982.59}{14420700}\\\Rightarrow \theta=57.52^{\circ}

The line of action is 57.52^{\circ}.

Wouldn't you just have to multiply 220 by 1,000,000? That would mean there are 220,000,000 water droplets in one cubic of the cloud.

Describe an experiment that tests whether all metals are magnetic and identify the independent and dependent variable in your ex
scoray [572]

Answer and Explanation:

NOTE: Magnetism means the magnetic property of a material that causes it to create a magnetic field, hence getting it attracted to a magnet.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

1. Use a tape to attach a permanent magnet to the end of a ruler so that the magnet is facing away from the ruler. Don't cover the magnetic surface with the tape. ( Leave the magnet in its decorative casing.)

2. Place your metal objects in a row, and make predictions of which one of them will be attracted to the magnet and which will not.

3. Hold the magnet over each metals, and record which metals are attracted to the magnet. Go back over the

objects that were not affected by the magnet at least one more time to be sure you didn't miss any.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the magnetism of the magnet used. This is the independent variable because it remained unchanged and unaffected by the metals' magnetic properties all through the experiment.

While the dependent variable is the magnetism of the metals used. This is so because the magnetism of these metals varied and also because it is what is been measured in the experiment. Some were attracted to the magnet from very close range while others were attracted even at some centimeters away from the magnet which indicates that those metals have strong metallic properties.
