Consider the wall of a dam to be straight with height H and length L. It holds a lake of water of height hh<H on one side. Let the density of water be ρw Denote the torque about the axis along the bottom length of the wall by τ1. Denote also a similar torque due to the water up to height h2 and wall length L2 by τ2. Then, τ1τ2 (ignore atmospheric pressure) is

Air (density ρ ) is being blown on a soap film (surface tension T ) by a pipe of radius R with its opening right next to the film. The film is deformed and a bubble detaches from the film when the shape of the deformed surface is a hemisphere. Given that the dynamic pressure on the film due to the air blown at speed v is 12ρv2, the speed at which the bubble formed is
