You are working as a summer intern for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and are assigned to some initial work on water resources project. The department will be overseeing the construction of a dam to create a large fresh water lake that will be approximately 17 meters deep. A horizontal pipe 1.2 meters long and 3 cm in diameter will pass through the dam at a depth of 7 meters to allow for release of the water in emergencies and for sampling. In normal situations, a plug will secure the pipe opening. 1) What will be the total force on the left side of the plug

    Check the explanation

    Explanation:

    1) Pressure acting on the plug = Patm + P

    Pressure = Patm + rho*g*h (Here h = D2)

    Pressure = 101325 + 1000*9.8*7

    Pressure = 169925 Pa

    so, Force = PA

    Force = 169925*pi*0.0152

    Force = 120.1 N
