Understanding Liquid Pressure Applications

Why is the lower part of a dam constructed thicker than the upper part?

• To withstand higher pressure at greater depths

• To make the dam aesthetically pleasing

• To prevent water from leaking

• To save construction materials

Where is the generator placed in a dam and why?

• Outside the dam, for easy access

• At the top, to avoid water damage

• In the middle, for balanced pressure

• At the bottom, to utilize high water pressure

What is the primary reason for using strong materials in submarine construction?

• To improve the submarine's buoyancy

• To withstand high water pressure at great depths

• To make the submarine faster

• To reduce the cost of construction

Why are water towers typically built at high elevations?

• To provide a scenic view

• To ensure sufficient water pressure for distribution

• To protect the water from contamination

• To reduce evaporation

In intravenous transfusions, why is the bottle placed higher than the patient?

• To make it easier for nurses to monitor

• To prevent air bubbles

• To ensure the liquid flows into the patient's body

• To keep the liquid warm
