Figure OQ14.1 shows aerial views from directly above two dams. Both dams are equally wide (the vertical dimension in the diagram) and equally high (into the page in the diagram). The dam on the left holds back a very large lake, and the dam on the right holds back a narrow river. Which dam has to be built more strongly? (a) the dam on the left (b) the dam on the right (c) both the same (d) cannot be predicted Dam Dam Figure 0014.1

Your low-flow showerhead is delivering water at 1.1 × 10-4 m3/s, about 1.8 gallons per minute. If this is the only water being used in your house, how fast is the water moving through your house’s water supply line, which has a diameter of 0.021 m (about ¾ of an inch)?
Two streams from a river . One stream has a width of 8.2 m , depth of 3.4 m , and current speed of 2.3 m/san . The other stream is 6.8 m wide , 3.2 m deep , and flows at 2.6 m/san . The width of the river is 10.5 m and the current speed is 2.9 m/san . What is its depth?
A stream moving with a speed of 0.7 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one-half of the original area. What is the water speed in this narrowed portion of the stream? m/s
How to design a small dam? We've been tasked to do that for our project and we don't know what to do. It is for small-scale dam for agricultural irrigation. I want to know what are the factors to be considered or any relevant information to structurally design a dam.
The hydraulic oil in a car lift has a density of 8.04 x 10^2 kg/m^3. The weight of the input piston is negligible. The radii of the input piston and output plunger are 7.76 x 10^-3m and 0.198m, respectively. What input force F is needed to support the 28500-N combined weight of a car and the output plunger, when (a) the bottom surfaces of the piston and plunger are at the same level, and (b) the bottom surface of the output plunger is 1.40m above that of the input plunger?
Why will a vacuum pump not operate for a well that is more than 10.3 m deep?
A vertical dam on a large lake is 30 ft tall and 60 ft wide, and the water level is 3 ft below the top of the dam. In the middle of the dam at the very bottom is a gate in the shape of an equilateral triangle 8 ft on a side as shown in the figure below. (Assume a density of water p = 62.4 lb/ft³.) 8 ft 27 ft Find the hydrostatic force (in lb) on the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) 1 24579 X lb
1. A dam is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The dam is 120 feet wide at the top and 60 feet wide at thebottom with a slant height of 84 feet. Find the hydrostatic force on the dam assuming it is full of water. Extra. A trough filled with water has its ends parabolically shaped as shown in the figure. If it is filled with water, findthe hydrostatic force on one end of the trough.
