Two dams form artificial lakes of equal depth. however one lake backs up 15 km behind the dam and the other backs up 30 km behind. what effect does the difference in length have on the pressure on the?

Careful! This is a tricky question. When we're talking about the pressure on the dam, we only really care about the depth of the lakes, not their lengths. The answer is that the length of the lakes makes no difference on the pressure exerted on the dam. Thanks Mr. Sacks!

Why is water a fluid that flows from high pressure to low pressure?
Think of it this way. Somethings got to stop some time correct? If it has no more pressure behind it, or less, then its going to slow down. The pressure will get lower and lower.
How does a blowgun work?
a blowgun is a big tube, like a straw. When you place a dart (or other object) into it, and blow in the end, you're increasing the pressure behind the dart, which propels it out the other end where pressure is lower. Objects always move toward the area of least resistance, and the pressure you create behind the dart creates a lot of resistance.
What is the difference between rear and back?
The rear is the bottom of somethng.The back is behind something.
How does water movement relate to pressure?
Water moves faster as pressure behind it rises. This may be illustrated by a simple garden hose, water will pour out of the hose end at a set rate, but when you put a finger over the end, thus raising pressure, the water will squirt out with greater intensity.
Why does a person standing in a platform tend to fall towards the train?
It is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train because you can get killed. You can also get hurt as well. You may jump off the train and land the wrong way and break something or become severely injured.

the pressure from the two will be the same
What is the difference between NTP and STP?
Yes, there is a little difference between NTP (Normal Temperature-Pressure) & STP (Standard Temperature-Pressure). There are detailed scientific and encyclopedic reasons behind it.
In the body where does the driving pressure for fluid flow come from?
The pressure difference between the two ends of a blood vessel is the driving force behind blood flow.
What could be the couse of feeling some pressure behind the eyes or ears that makes you feel as when you are exhausted?
It could be dry eye. Both my eyes feel tired and as if they have a pressure from behind the eye and sometimes above. It makes me want to close my eyes all the time, even when I'm not tired. You can buy eye drops or artificial tears for this condition from the chemist. It helps relieve the symptoms, but this cannot be cured.
What causes intermittent pressure or pulling sensation behind one eye?
One possible cause of intermittent pressure or pulling behind 1 eye is problems with the sinuses. Allergies can also cause pressure behind the eye.
Why is it often very windy the day after a storm or heavy rain?
Because a deep area of low pressure is often what brings that weather, and in departing it typically allows an area of high pressure to slide in behind it. It is this pressure difference (between high and low) that causes strong wind.

high blood pressue, glacouma
What are the difference between dam and retaining wall?
The only difference between them is that, a masonry dam retains the water behind it, while the retaining wall retains the earth materials at its back. The distribution of pressure along its height is also same to the masonry dam.
What do you call the lake that forms behind a dam?
what do you call an artificially body of water that forms behind a dam
Can you adjust the line pressure on a 47RH trans behind a cummins?
Yes, the pan must be removed to get to the adjustment screws however. Scroll to the bottom of this document and use the picture for reference.
What causes such great wind speeds in tornadoes?
In simple terms, the driving force behind wind is differences in pressure. The greater the pressure difference over a given distance, the faster the winds. The pressure inside a tornado is very low, and that change occurs over a very short distance, resulting in extremely fast winds.
