Gravity walls are supported by the earth itself in the downward direction. This generally applies to retaining walls. A Cantilever wall is not supported directly by the earth, but it is connected to another structure that is anchored. The cantilever wall, or any other structure containing the term cantilever, suggest that it "hangs out" of another anchoring structure without direct support from underneath.

How do you find the reaction force of a cantilever?

To find the reaction force of a cantilever, you can sum the moments about the fixed end of the cantilever (often where it's attached to a wall or support). The reaction force will balance the external load applied to the cantilever to maintain equilibrium. Equation of equilibrium can be used to solve for the reaction force.

Can gravity be blocked?

No. There is no gravity 'insulator'. If you tried to build a wall between you and the Earth to block the Earth's gravity from reaching you, it would not only have no effect on the Earth's gravity reaching you, but the gravitational force on you would be even stronger, because you would also be attracted to the mass of the wall. Every two masses are gravitationally attracted toward each other, and that's all there is to it. It makes no difference what's in between them.


what forces most strongly affects a picture hanging on nail on the wall?

The main forces that affect a picture hanging on a nail on a wall are gravity pulling the picture downwards, tension in the nail supporting the weight of the picture, and the frictional force between the picture frame and the wall that keeps it from sliding.


Why would measuring the difference between a second and third back-wall echo sometimes be mote accurate than between the first and second back-wall echo?

Measuring the difference between the second and third back-wall echo can be more accurate because these echoes are further apart in time, providing a larger time interval to calculate the speed of sound accurately. In contrast, the first and second back-wall echoes are closer in time and can introduce more errors due to the shorter time interval.
