The figure shows two fluids held by a hinged gate. The atmospheric pressure is Pa = 100 kPa. The moment per unit width about the base of the hinge is ____________ kNm/m. (Rounded off to one decimal place)
Take the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 m/s2.

An explosion at time t = 0 releases energy πΈ at the origin in a space filled with a gas of density Ο. Subsequently, a hemispherical blast wave propagates radially outwards as shown in the figure.
Let R denote the radius of the front of the hemispherical blast wave. The radius R follows the relationship π = π π‘π πΈ π ππ, where k is a dimensionless constant. The value of exponent a is ___________.
(Rounded off to one decimal place)
