Q1.: Consider two bridges that are exact replicas except that every dimension of the larger bridge is exactly twice that of the other that is, twice as large, structural dements twice as thick, and so on. which bridge is more likely to collapse under it’s own weight. Q2.If the number of gas atoms in a container is doubled, the pressure of the gas doubles (assuming constant temperature and volume). Explain this pressure increase in terms of the molecular motion of gas. Q3.Wharves are made with pilings that permit free passage of water. Why would a solid-walled wharf be disadvantageous to ships attempting to pull alongside?
