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}.

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH

Answer:  the answer is D.Heat from the engine under the hood transfered to the snow, melting it.

Explanation:  Heat always transfers from warmer objects to cooler objects. For example, if snow is on the hood of your car, as the engine warms up, heat will be transfered from the engine to the snow, melting the snow and cooling the engine.
