Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
