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

Calculate the change in entropy that occurs in the system when 3.10 mole of isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) melts at its melting point
ozzi

Answer:

3.10 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 89.54 J/K

Explanation:

Given data

mole = 3.10 moles

temperature = -89.5∘C = -89 + 273 = 183.5 K

ΔH∘fus = 5.37 kJ/mol =  5.3 ×10^3 J/mol

to find out

change in entropy

solution

we know change in entropy is ΔH∘fus / melting point

put these value so we get change in entropy that is

change in entropy 5.3 ×10^3 / 183.5

change in entropy is 28.88 J/mol-K

so we say 1 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 28.88 J/mol-K

and for the  3.10 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 3.10 ×28.88  J/K

3.10 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 89.54 J/K

What kind of charge does an object have when it has given away electrons?
Step2247 [10]
Electrons have a negative charge, so if you give away electrons, you give away negative charge, thus ending with a positive charge.

Which of these is a TRUE statement
dangina [55]

Answer:

Sound travels through solids and liquids at the same speed

Explanation:

Because sound needs a dencer object to travel fast and since both liquid and solids are closer than gas sound travles faster in them.

When the cylinder is displaced slightly along its vertical axis it will oscillate about its equilibrium position with a frequenc
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE

Explanation:

We can simulate this system as a physical pendulum, which is a pendulum with a distributed mass, in this case the angular velocity is

          w² = mg d / I

In this case, the distance d to the pivot point of half the length (L) of the cylinder, which we consider long and narrow

         d = L / 2

The moment of inertia of a cylinder with respect to an axis at the end we can use the parallel axes theorem, it is approximately equal to that of a long bar plus the moment of inertia of the center of mass of the cylinder, this is tabulated

        I = ¼ m r2 + ⅓ m L2

        I = m (¼ r2 + ⅓ L2)

now let's use the concept of density to calculate the mass of the system

        ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

the volume of a cylinder is

         V = π r² L

          m =  ρ π r² L

let's substitute

        w² = m g (L / 2) / m (¼ r² + ⅓ L²)

        w² = g L / (½ r² + 2/3 L²)

        L >> r

         w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE
