Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A dam is designed to hold back water at varying heights. Analyze how the pressure distribution changes as water levels rise and how this affects structural integrity.
💡 Hint: Consider how increasing water height multiplies the pressure exerted on the dam.
In a tsunami scenario, evaluate how rapid wave displacement creates pressure differentials and discuss possible engineering solutions to mitigate impact.
💡 Hint: Think about how pressure and height interact in such scenarios.
