Why do dams have a very broad base?
Dams must hold back water of a certain depth, determined by the height of the dam. The pressure exerted by this water on the dam is dependent in part by its depth, since the base of the dam must be able to hold pressures exerted by the weight of all the water above the base. Since the pressure is greater at the base, the dam is broader at the base.
What is the pressure exerted by the pot on the table .force exerted by pot on table is 2N and the diameter of its base is 20cm?
20cm divided by 2N means it creates the pressure of 10Ncm2
How do you calculate the total pressure exerted on the base of a storage tank?
The Pressure is .434 times the height The FORCE takes a lot more calculations as the height and the weight of the water has to be calculated in plus the hydra-static pressure
Why the base of the dam is made wider?
The pressure of the water against the top of the dam wall, is much less than the pressure exerted against the bottom of the dam wall. The width of a dam wall increases to compensate for the increased water pressures at the lower level.
Why dams are made wider at the bottom?
Dams must hold back water of a certain depth, determined by the height of the dam. The pressure exerted by this water on the dam is dependent in part by its depth, since the base of the dam must be able to hold pressures exerted by the weight of all the water above the base. Since the pressure is greater at the base, the dam is broader at the base.
How do you calculate water pressure at top if water pressure given at bottom?
Every 2.3077 feet of water in a column increases the water pressure at the bottom of the column by 1 pound per square inch.A 39 foot column of water with a pressure of 120 psi at the base will have a pressure exerted on its top surface of 103.1 psi.39 ft/ 2.3077 ft/1 psi = 16.9 psi ; 120 psi -16.9 psi = 103.1 psievery meter of water in a column increases the pressure at the base of the column by 0.1 kg./ sq. cm (or 1 kilopascal)A 12 meter column of water exerts a pressure at its base of 12 kPa. (or 1.2 kg/sq. cm)
What is water pressur?
Are you asking hydrostatic (standing still) or if the water is under pressure such as the pressure at the base of a riser based on the height of the column of water?
Why A dam has broader world at the bottom than at the top?
Due to the that the pressure exerted by a liquid increase with its depth. Thus as depth increase, more and more pressure is exert by water on the wall of dam. A thick wall is required to withstand a great pressure, therefore, the wall of the dam is made with thickness increasing towards the base
What is static load on machine tools?
The static load of a machine tool is the pressure exerted by the base of the machine (at rest and without a workpiece or tooling loaded).
How much does pressure does a one half inch diameter column of water exert at its base?
The diameter of the water column does not affect the pressure.It is the height of the column that determines the pressure at the base.(and also the barometric pressure and temperature).
What came first litre or kilogram?
The litre came first as the original "base unit" of the metric system was the Metre. Mass units followed by defining the gram (mass base unit) as the weight of 1 cubic centimetre (or millilitre) of water at standard temperature and pressure.
What is the depth of a volume of 64 cubic feet?
That's going to depend on the shape of the container, especially on how much 'real estate' the base of the container covers. For discussion, imagine that the container is a square fish tank, and the four walls go straight up from the four sides of the square base. -- If the base of the tank covers 64 square feet and it holds 64 cubic feet, then the water in it is 1 foot deep. -- If the base of the tank covers 1 acre and it holds 64 cubic feet, then the water in it is 0.0176 inch deep. -- If the base of the tank covers 1 square inch and it holds 64 cubic feet, then the water in it is 9,216 feet (1.745 mile) deep.
