Find the work done in pumping gasoline that weighs 6600 newtons per cubic meter. A cylindrical gasoline tank 3 meters in diamete

r and 2 meters long is carried on the back of a truck and is used to fuel tractors. The axis of the tank is horizontal. The opening on the tractor tank is 5 meters above the top of the tank in the truck. Find the work done in pumping the entire contents of the fuel tank into the tractor.

Answer:

<em>work done in pumping the entire fuel is 466587 J</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

weight of the gasoline per volume = 6600 N/m^3

diameter of the tank = 3 m

length of the tank = 2 m

height of the tractor tank above the top of the tank = 5 m

work done in pumping fuel to this height = ?

First, we find the volume of the fuel

since the tank is cylindrical,<em> we assume that the fuel within also takes the cylindrical shape.</em>

<em>Also, we assume that the fuel completely fills the tank.</em>

volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^{2}l$

where r = radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m

volume of the cylinder = 3.142 x $1.5^{2}$ x 2 = 14.139 m^3

we then find the total weight of the fuel in Newton

total weight = (weight per volume) x volume

total weight = 6600 x 14.139 = 93317.4 N

work done = (total weight of the fuel) x (height through which the fuel is pumped)

work done in pumping = 93317.4 x 5 = <em>466587 J</em>

A rotating beacon is located 2 miles out in the water. Let A be the point on the shore that is closest to the beacon. As the bea

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that Beacon is rotating with angular speed

$f = 10 rev/min$

so we have

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(\frac{10}{60})$

$\omega = 1.047 rad/s$

now we know that

$v = r \omega$

here we will have

$r = 2 miles = 2(1609 m)$

$r = 3218 m$

so we have

$v = 3218(1.047)$

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled

sesenic [268]

Velocity =

(distance between start point and end point, regardless of the route traveled) / (time spent traveling).

That distance (called the "displacement"), is 10 meters, and almost exactly 1 hour is almost exactly 3,600 seconds. So the numerical value of the velocity during that time is

(10) / (3,600) = almost exactly 0.00278 m/s

= 2.78 x 10^-3 m/s.

Starting at point 0, you travel 500 m on a straight road that slopes upward at a constant angle of 5 degrees. What is your heigh

ira [324]

Answer:

43.58 m

Explanation:

If you travel 500 m on a straight road that slopes upward at a constant angle of 5 degrees

Using trigonometry ratio

Sin 5 = opposite/hypothenus

Where the hypothenus = 500m

Opposite = height h

Sin 5 = h/500

Cross multiply

500 × sin 5 = h

h = 500 × 0.08715

h = 43.58m

Therefore, the height above the starting point is equal to 43.58m
