A trough is filled with a liquid of density 810 kg/m3. The ends of the trough are equilateral triangles with sides 8 m long and vertex at the bottom. Find the hydrostatic force on one end of the trough. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

The hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

Explanation:

Given;

liquid density, ρ = 810 kg/m³

side of the equilateral triangle, L = 8m

acceleration due to gravity, g =  9.8 m/s²

Hydrostatic force is given as;

H = ρgh

where;

h is the vertical height of the equilateral triangle

Draw a line to bisect upper end of the trough, to the vertex at the bottom, this line is the height of the equilateral triangle.

let the half side of the triangle = x

x = ⁸/₂ = 4m

The half section of the triangle forms a right angled triangle

h² = 8² - 4²

h² = 48

h = √48

h = 6.928m

F = ρgh

F = 810 x 9.8 x 6.928

F = 54994.464 N

Therefore, the hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.

so easy. just google the electromagnetic waves and it’ll pop up.
