Question

A dam has height H and a width b. Assuming that the water level reaches at the top, find the average force exerted on the dam for H - 60 m and b - 200 m.​

Answer 1

Answer:

force of buoyancy = density of liquid * acceleration due to gravity * volume of object (assuming that the dam is triangular in shape with width 'h')

= 10^3 * 10 * 1/2*200*60*60

= 3.6*10^19

Answer 2

force of buoyancy = density of liquid * acceleration due to gravity * volume of object (assuming that the dam is triangular in shape with width 'h')

= 10^3 * 10 * 1/2*200*60*60

= 3.6*10^19
