Silo-Physics
This term describes a push or pull that can make objects move, stop, or change direction.
Force
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite this
Reaction
Silos are typically this shape because it evenly distributes pressure and uses less material
Cylinders
Grains in a silo act like this state of matter because they flow and settle like water
Fluid/Liquid
What type of distributed load is acting on the wall of a silo
Triangular
Silos help keep this type of farm product fresh and safe by storing it in large quantities.
Silage, feed, corn, and grains
As you go lower in a silo filled with grain, this happens to the outward force against the walls
It Increases
What is the Net Force equal to at equilibrium
ZERO!
Why do engineers add more support at the bottom of the silos compared to the top?
Increased pressure
What word can we use to describe the distribution of force acting on the silo wall
Gradient
What pH is neutral
7
What 2 conditions do silos create that prevent bacteria from making the feed go bad
Lower pH and low oxygen
OOPSIE!!! minus 1000 points

What are all 3 of Newtons Laws
law 1: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues moving at a constant velocity (same speed and direction) unless acted upon by an external net force.
law 2: The acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting upon it and the object's mass.
law 3: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
