A trapezoidal concrete dam (s = 2.4) 8.1m high and a horizontal base 10m long has a vertical upstream side. The downstream face is sloping 2-horizontal to 3-vertical. Water stands 7m on one side.

Compute for the total weight of the dam.

What is the overturning moment?

Where will the resultant force cut the base from the toe?

A body of water is being retained by a concrete dam wall (15 ft high and 6 ft thick). What is the maximum height the water can rise without causing the intensity of pressure at the toe greater than twice the average pressure on the base? Assume that concrete weighs 150 lbs per cubic foot, there is no seepage causing uplift against the bottom of the wall, and water weighs 62.5 lbs per cubic foot.

A 283 g air track glider moving at 0.69 m/s on a 2.4 m long air track collides elastically with a 467 g glider at rest in the middle of the horizontal track. The end of the track over which the struck glider moves is not frictionless, and the glider moves with a coefficient of kinetic friciton = 0.02 with respect to the track. Will the glider reach the end of the track? Neglect the length of the gliders.

A closed rectangular tank 1.2 m high, 2.4 m long and 1.5 m wide is two-thirds full of gasoline (specic gravity 0.8). Calculate the acceleration which may be imparted to the tank so that the bottom front end of the tank is just exposed. Also calculate the total forces on each end of the tank and show that the dierence between these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate the liquid mass in the tank.

A 100 foot long horizontal pipeline transporting benzene develops a leak 43 feet from the high-pressure end. The diameter of the leak is estimated to be 0.1 inch. At the time, the upstream pressure in the pipeline is 50 psig and the downstream pressure is 40 psig. Estimate the mass flow rate of benzene through the leak. The specific gravity of benzene is 0.8794.

A 4-m-high and 6-m-wide wall consists of a long 18x30 cm2 cross section of horizontal bricks (K=0.72W/mC) separated by 3-cm-thick plaster layer (K=0.22W/mC). There are also 2-cm-thick plaster layers on each side of the wall, and a 2-cm-thick rigid form (K=0.026W/mC) on the inner side of the wall. The indoor and outdoor temperatures are 22C and -4 C, and the combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer walls are 10W/m2C and 20W/m2C, respectively. Determine the...
