1 BTU mean 1 degree of F increased for 1 pound mass. Since the mass unit is in kg that means you need to convert it into pound. One metric ton means 1000kg and 1 kg mean 2.20462lb, then the water mass is: 1000kg x 2.20462lb/kg= 2204.62lb.

You are putting 110,000 btus of heat, so the calculation would be

Temperature increase= energy/mass = 110000btus/ 2204.62lb= 49.9 degree

A hoop is rolling (without slipping) on a horizontal surface so it has two types of kinetic energy: translational kinetic energy
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

\dfrac{T}{K}=1

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of the hoop is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2..................(1)

M is the mass of the hoop

v is the velocity of the hoop

The rotational kinetic energy of the hoop is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Since, I=MR^2

\omega=\dfrac{v}{R}

T=\dfrac{1}{2}\times MR^2\times (\dfrac{v}{R})^2..............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{T}{K}=1

Therefore, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy is 1.

Determine the maximum weight of the bucket that the wire system can support so that no single wire develops a tension exceeding
stellarik [79]
Let there be N number of wires.

Maximum tension a wire can withstand = 100 lb

so, Total tension N wires can withstand =  100 N

now, total tension in N wires = Maximum weight of bucket

100 N  = W

so, W = 100N

W is the weight of bucket and 100N is its maximum value.

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}

where B= magnetic field

           \mu _o= permeability of free space

           I= current in the long wire and

           r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.
