Please help me to understand which ans is correct. To determine the ##P2##. $$ h_{LM}\ne 0 $$ Method 1： $$dP=\frac{\partial P}{\partial x}dx+\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}dy+\frac{\partial P}{\partial z}dz$$$$\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\rho \overset\rightharpoonup{a}=-\triangledown p+\rho...

1. Homework Statement A fresh water storage tank in a factory is shown in the figure above. Its top side is denoted as C, the narrow side as B and the long side as A. In order to allow regular maintenance and cleaning side A is hinged at its bottom edge and secured using a heavy-duty clasp at...

Homework Statement Find height (h) of the water level which can result in failure of dam by tipping it over due to water pressure at U/S of dam. Also draw the free body diagram. Density of water to be = 1000 kg/m^3 and its specific weight=62.4 lb/ft^3 Hints: The specific weight of concrete is...

Homework Statement A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 35.7N . When the rock is totally immersed in water, the tension is 25.9N . When the rock is totally immersed in an unknown liquid, the tension is 19.6N . Homework Equations Density =...

1. Homework Statement Calculate the torque on the dam about the origin (Picture attached) due to the pressure force of the fluid. Homework Equations Pressure force is correct (dF) The Attempt at a Solution [/B] I have solve it; however, I am not sure if I calculated over the origin asked...

Homework Statement One hundred millilitres of water is poured into a U-tube that has a cross-sectional area of 1 cm2. Then 100 millilitres of oil, with a density 80% that of water, is poured down one side of the U-tube so that the oil floats on the water. Find the difference in height of the...

Hi, I haven't done many problems of this nature so there are a few steps in my working that i'd like to check are acceptable/agree with what the question implies. Homework Statement A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage...

Homework Statement what factors affect the size of the pressure at a point in a static fluid? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

Hi First off I'm not a student, this is purely a curiosity question In pascals law classic drawing if you added a piston inside one of the cylinders what would happen? I've added a drawing to clarify I'm totally split on what the answer is, Pascals law seems to state the pressure on...

Hi, I'm trying to model a compensation device in a hydraulic system. Basically, I have a closed pipe that contains a body of liquid (water glycol) and as time elapses this fluid is subject to a cooling effect. This results in contraction and hence a pressure decrease which is subsequently...

A meat baster consists of a squeeze bulb attached to a plastic tube. When the bulb is squeezed and released, with the open end of the tube under the surface of the basting sauce, the sauce rises in the tube to a distance h, as the drawing shows. Using 1.013 × 1055Pa for the atmospheric pressure...

Homework Statement Calculate the depth h of mud for which the 3m concrete retaining wall is on the verge of tipping about its forward edge A. The density of mud may be taken to be 1760 kg/m3 and that of concrete to be 2400 kg/m3 The Attempt at a Solution So I made A actually at 1.5m down...
