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 at the base of a water riser by a column of water in a riser 95 feet high?
The pressure exerted at the base of a water riser by a column of water is determined by the height of the column above the base. In this case, with a column of water 95 feet high, the pressure at the base would be approximately 41.1 pounds per square inch. This calculation is done using the formula P = ρgh, where P is pressure, ρ is density of water, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the column.
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?
Does the size of the column affect the amount of hydrostatic pressure?
Yes, the height and density of the column do affect the amount of hydrostatic pressure. The pressure exerted at the base of a column of fluid is directly proportional to the height of the column of fluid and the density of the fluid. A taller or denser column will result in a greater hydrostatic pressure at the base.
What would happen to the pressure if the weight of the object remained the same but the area of its base were cut in half?
If the area of the base is cut in half, then the pressure exerted by the object would double. This is because pressure is force divided by area, so reducing the base area by half would mean the force is now concentrated over a smaller area, resulting in higher pressure.
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 the formula for water column?
The formula for water is H₂O, which indicates that each molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. In the context of a water column, it typically refers to the height of a column of water that exerts a pressure at its base, measured in units like meters or feet. The pressure exerted by a water column can be calculated using the formula ( P = \rho g h ), where ( P ) is pressure, ( \rho ) is the density of the water, ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity, and ( h ) is the height of the water column.
