Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A prototype sluice gate measures 6 m and the model's length is 1.5 m. If the prototype experiences a force of 800 N, calculate the force exerted in the model.

💡 Hint: Consider how forces scale with length in hydraulic systems.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a river model has a time ratio of 1/10 and the prototype's period is 20 hours, what is the model's corresponding time period?

💡 Hint: Utilize the time ratio as a scaling factor for periods.
