Four monitoring wells have been placed around a leaking underground storage tank. The wells are located at the corners of a 1-ha

square. The total piezometric head in each of the wells is as follows: NE corner, 30.0 m; SE corner, 30.0 m; SW corner, 30.6 m: NW corner 30.6 m. Determine the magnitude and direction of the hydraulic gradient.

Answer:

direction : West to East

magnitude : 6.0 * 10^-3

Explanation:

<em>Given data :</em>

Four ( 4 ) monitoring wells

location of wells = corners of 1-ha square

Total piezometric head in each well ;

NE corner = 30.0 m ;

SE corner = 30.0 m;

SW corner = 30.6 m;

NW corner = 30.6 m.

<u>Calculate for  the magnitude and direction of the hydraulic gradient </u>

first step ; calculate for area

Area = ( 1 -ha  ) ( 10^4 m^2/ha )

        = 1 * 10^4 m^2

Distance between the wells = length of side

      = √( 1 * 10^4 ) m^2

      = 100 m

Direction of Hydraulic gradient is from west to east because the total piezometric head in the west = Total piezometric head in the east

Next determine The magnitude of the hydraulic gradient

= ( 30.6 - 30 ) / 100

= 6.0 * 10^-3

(8%) Problem 3: Sound in water travels at a velocity governed by the relation v = √(B/rho) where B is the bulk modulus and rho i
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

the time required for the sound to travel between the whales 0.66 S.

Explanation:

As given in the problem, the velocity of sound wave (v) is governed by the equation

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{B}{\rho}}

Given, B = 2.38 \times 10^{9} Pa and \rho = 1046 Kg m^{-3}

So for salt water, the velocity of sound wave (v_{s}) can be written as

v_{s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2.38 \times 10^{9}}{1046}} ms^{-1} = 1.508 \times 10^{3} ms^{-1}

As the whales are d = 1 Km or 1000 m apart from each other, so the time (t) required for the sound wave to travel this distance is given by

t = \dfrac{d}{v_{s}} = \dfrac{1000 m}{1.508 \times 10^{3}} = 0.66 s

Balanced forces act on a ball that is being held above the ground in someone's hand. explain why these forces on the ball are ba
Licemer1 [7]
Hi Andrescruz9386

The ball in someone's hand is a balanced force because the object is staying in motion and is not changing at all so its evenly balanced, if its swinging back and fourth it is in motion and it wont stop till it becomes unbalanced, if the ball is just being held above the ground yes its balanced because nothing Is happening to it, its basically like a balance scale, if both sides are even and equal, than nothing will happen because there is no side that has more or less its equal so that's why its balanced, in order for it to be unbalanced it has to be brought upon unbalanced forces.
