A swimming pool measures 5.0 m long x 4.0 m wide x 3.0 mdeep.
QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 588,000 N

b) 294000 N

Explanation:

Given that

Density of water = 1000kg/m3

(g) = 9.8m/s2

volume is given as (V)= 5m*4m*3m

a) force will be equal to weight of water

W = mg  = \rho g V = 1000\times 9.8 \times (5*4*3) = 588,000 kg m/s^2

b) at either end

P = \frac{F}{A} = P_o + \rho gh

dF = PdA

dF = \rho g w \int h dh

F = \rho g w \frac{h^2}{2}

F = \rho g A \frac{h}{2}           [A = wh]

F = 1000\times 9.8 \times 5\times 4 \times\frac{3}{2}

F = 294000 N

The three branches of science are ____, earth, and physical
Rom4ik [11]
The three branches of science are life, earth, and physical science.
Life science deals with living organisms, so, biology is the most important of these sciences, although there are many.
Earth science deals with Planet Earth, studying its atmosphere, lithosphere, etc.
Physical science studies the inorganic world.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a)   v = 0.9167 m / s,  b)  A = 0.350 m,  c)  v = 0.9167 m / s, d)  A = 0.250 m

Explanation:

a) to find the velocity of the wave let us use the relation

          v = λ f

the wavelength is the length that is needed for a complete wave, in this case x = 5.50 m corresponds to a wavelength

           λ = x

           λ = x

the period is the time for the wave to repeat itself, in this case t = 3.00 s corresponds to half a period

          T / 2 = t

           T = 2t

period and frequency are related

           f = 1 / T

           f = 1 / 2t

we substitute

           v = x / 2t

           v = 5.50 / 2 3

           v = 0.9167 m / s

b) the amplitude is the distance from a maximum to zero

          2A = y

           A = y / 2

           A = 0.700 / 2

           A = 0.350 m

c) The horizontal speed of the traveling wave (waves) is independent of the vertical oscillation of the particles, therefore the speed is the same

      v = 0.9167 m / s

d) the amplitude is

           A = 0.500 / 2

           A = 0.250 m
