The document contains physics problems about dams, hydraulic lifts, floating ice, heart rates, and water flow. It asks the reader to (a) calculate the net force on a 12m high, 10m wide dam holding back water; (b) explain why dam thickness increases with depth; and solves other physics questions related to pumps, densities, conversions, and fluid dynamics.

Homework 1 - Juan Zahid Angeles Sarabia

55. A dam is used to hold back a river. The dam has a height H=12mH=12m and a
width W=10m.W=10m. Assume that the density of the water
is ρ=1000kg/m3.ρ=1000kg/m3. (a) Determine the net force on the dam. (b) Why
does the thickness of the dam increase with depth?

89. A container of water has a cross-sectional area of A=0.1m2A=0.1m2. A piston sits
ou urc
on top of the water (see the following figure). There is a spout located 0.15 m from the
bottom of the tank, open to the atmosphere, and a stream of water exits the spout. The
cross sectional area of the spout is As=7.0×10−4m2As=7.0×10−4m2. (a) What is the
o

velocity of the water as it leaves the spout? (b) If the opening of the spout is located 1.5
m above the ground, how far from the spout does the water hit the floor? Ignore all
aC s

friction and dissipative forces.
