Simple question why why why why is things this way

Astone is thrown into a pond. what happens to the amplitude of the resulting waves as they get farther from the point where the stone hit the water? explain.

The experiment done in lab is repeated, using a ball that has unknown mass m. you plot your data in the form of f 2 versus m/l, with f in rev/s, m in kg, and l in m. your data falls close to a straight line that has slope 3.19 m/(kg · s2). use g = 9.80 m/s2 and calculate the mass m of the ball.

The space between two 15-in.-long concentric cylinders is filled with glycerin (viscosity = 8.5 × 10-3 lb·s/ft2). the inner cylinder has a radius of 1 in. and the gap width between cylinders is 0.1 in. determine (a) the torque and (b) the power required to rotate the inner cylinder at 180 rev/min. the outer cylinder is fixed. assume the velocity distribution in the gap to be linear.
