Net Effective Weight of Dam Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Net Effective Weight of Dam = Total Weight of Dam-((Total Weight of Dam/Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration)*Fraction Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration)
W_net = W-((W/g)*a_v)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Net Effective Weight of Dam - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Net effective weight of dam is the weight of the dam body and its foundation is the major resisting force.
Total Weight of Dam - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Total weight of dam is a percentage calculated by dividing the calf's adjusted weaning weight with the dam's weight at calf's weaning.
Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Gravity adapted for vertical acceleration The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second.The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.
Fraction Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Fraction Gravity adapted for vertical acceleration The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second.The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Weight of Dam: 250 Kilonewton --> 250 Kilonewton No Conversion Required
Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration: 9.81 Meter per Square Second --> 9.81 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Fraction Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration: 0.98 Meter per Square Second --> 0.98 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_net = W-((W/g)*a_v) --> 250-((250/9.81)*0.98)

Evaluating ... ...

W_net = 225.025484199796

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

225025.484199796 Newton -->225.025484199796 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

225.025484199796 ≈ 225.0255 Kilonewton <-- Net Effective Weight of Dam

W_net = W-((W/g)*a_v)

What does Vertical Acceleration mean?

Imagine yourself riding along in your car and accelerating horizontally (that means increasing the speed of the car as you're going straight ahead). You hit a bump in the road, and the car jumps into the air (vertical acceleration), then drops back down onto the road due to gravity.

What is the equation for Vertical Acceleration?

Then the vertical acceleration (av) of the rocket is given by the equation (av = [T - W] / m). Since the aerodynamic forces depend on the square of the velocity, and the velocity is low during liftoff, the magnitude of the aerodynamic forces is very small.
