A viewing window on the side of a large tank at a public aquarium measures 56 in. by 61 in. The average gauge pressure from the water is 2 psi. What is the total outward force on the window

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total outward force on the window is 6832 lb

Explanation:

length = 61 in, breadth = 56 in, P = 2 psi

We calculate for the area:

Mathematically,

A = L * B = 61 * 56

A = 3416 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]

Total outward force is calculated by the product of Force & Area

Mathematically,

F = P * A

F = 2 * 3416

F = 6832 lb
