The force of the added water produces a torque on the dam. In a simple model, if the torque due to the water were enough to caus

e the dam to break free from its foundation, the dam would pivot about its base (point P). What is the magnitude τ of the torque about the point P due to the water in the reservoir?

Answer:

The appropriate response is "\tau=\frac{1}{6} PgLh^3". A further explanation is described below.

Explanation:

The torque (\tau) produced by the force on the dam will be:

⇒  d \tau=XdF

On applying integration both sides, we get

⇒  \tau = \int_{0}^{a}x pgL(h-x)dx

⇒     = pgL\int_{0}^{h}(h-x)dx

⇒     =pgL[\frac{h^3}{2} -\frac{h^3}{3} ]

⇒     =\frac{1}{6} PgLh^3

The level of mercury falls in a barometer<br>while taking it to a mountain.​
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

This is due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places.

Explanation:

Given that atmospheric pressure decreases at the higher point or ground, this reduced atmospheric pressure, however, will be unable to contain the Mercury in the barometer tube.

Therefore, at the top of the mountain where the air pressure is low, the barometer reading ultimately goes down.

Hence, the level of mercury falls in a barometer while taking it to a mountain "due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places."

HELP PLS!!!! Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is th
maw [93]

You've already told us the speed in ft/s .  It's right there in the question.  You said that light travels about  982,080,000 ft/s.

We don't know how accurate that number is, but for purposes of THIS question, that's the number we're going with.

In scientific notation, it's written . . . <em>9.8208 x 10⁸ ft/s .</em>

We don't know where you were going with the number of seconds in a year.  But to answer the question that you eventually asked, it turned out that we don't even need it.
