Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 20 kW of shaft power. The free surface of t

he upper reservoir is 45 m higher than that of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be 0.03 m3/s, determine mechanical power that is converted to thermal energy during this process due to frictional effects.

Answer:

6.5 kW

Explanation:

Input power = 20 kW = 20000 W

h = 45 m

Volume flow per second = 0.03 m^3 /s

mass flow per second = volume flow per second x density of water

= 0.03 x 1000 = 30 kg/s

Output power = m g h / t = 30 x 10 x 45 = 13500 W

Power converted in form of heat = Input power - Output power

= 20000 - 13500 = 6500 W = 6.5 kW

Thus, mechanical power converted into heat is 6.5 kW.

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W

7nadin3 [17]

For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>

A tank contains 100 gal of water and 50 oz of salt.water containing a salt concentration of 1 4 (1 1 2 sin t) oz/gal flows into

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heres the possible full question and solution:

A tank contains 100 gal of water and 50 oz of salt. Water containing a salt concentration of ¼ (1 + ½ sin t) oz/gal flows ito the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, and the mixture in the tank flows out at the same rate.

a. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time.

b. Plot the solution for a time period long enough so that you see the ultimate behavior of the graph.

c. The long-time behavior of the solution is an oscillation about a certain constant level. What is this level? What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

solution

a)

Consider the tank contains 100gal of water and 50 oz of salt

Assume that the amount of salt in the tank at time t is Q(t).

Then, the rate of change of salt in the tank is given by $\frac{dQ}{dt}$ .

Here, $\frac{dQ}{dt}$ =rate of liquid flowing in the tank - rate of liquid flowing out.

Therefore,

$Rate_{in} =2gal/min \times \frac{1}{4} (1+ \frac{1}{2}sin t)oz/gal\\\\\\ \frac{1}{2} (1+ \frac{1}{2}sin t)oz/min\\\\\\Rate_{out}=2gal/min \times\frac{Q}{100}oz/gal\\\\\frac{Q}{50}oz/min$

Therefore,

$\frac{dQ}{dt}$ can be evaluated as shown below:

$\frac{dQ}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}(1+\frac{1}{2}\sin t)-\frac{Q}{50}\\\\\\\frac{dQ}{dt}+\frac{1}{50}Q=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t$

The above differential equation is in standard form:

$\frac{dy}{dt}+Py=G$

Here, $P=\frac{1}{50},G=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t$

The integrating factor is as follows:

$\mu(t)=e^{\int {P}dt}\\\mu(t)=e^{\int {\frac{1}{50}}dt}\\\mu(t)=e^{\frac{t}{50}}$

Thus, the integrating factor is $\mu(t)=e^{\frac{t}{50}}$

Therefore, the general solution is as follows:

$y\mu(t)=\int {\mu (t)G}dt\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t) dt}\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=\frac{1}{2}\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}dt + \frac{1}{4}\int {\sin t {e^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}\\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 {e^{\frac{t}{50}} + \frac{1}{4}\int {\sin t {e^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}+C...(1)$

Here, C is arbitrary constant of integration.

Solve $\int {\sin te^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}$

Here $u = e^{\frac{t}{50}}$ and $v =\sin t$ .

Substitute u , v in the below formula:

$\int{u,v}dt=u\int{v}dt-\int\frac{du}{dt}\int{v}dt\dot dt\\\\\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=-e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t + \frac{1}{50}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}dt...(2)$

Now, take $u = e^{\frac{t}{50}}$ , $v =\sin t$

Therefore, $\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t} dt=\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt - \frac{1}{50}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt...(3)$

Use (3) in equation(2)

$\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=-e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t + \frac{e^{\frac{t}{50}}}{50}\sin t - \frac{1}{2500}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt\\\\\frac{2501}{2500}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt={e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}+\frac{e^{\frac{t}{50}}}{50}\sin t\\\\\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=\frac{2500}{2501}{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}+\frac{50}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t...(4)$

Use (4) in equation(l) .

$Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+C$

Apply the initial conditions $t =0, Q = 50$ .

$50=25-\frac{625}{2501}+c\\\\c=\frac{63150}{2501}$

So, $Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+\frac{63150}{2501}$

Therefore, the amount of salt in the tank at any time is as follows:

$Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+\frac{63150}{2501}e^{\frac{-t}{50}}$

17. The edges of a rectangular solid have these measures: 1.5 feet by 1½ feet by 3 inches. What is its volume in cubic inches? a

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

c. 972

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular solid is calculated as the product of its dimensions, that is, its width, its length and its height:

$V=a*b*h$

1 feet is equal to 12 inches, so:

$a=1.5ft*\frac{12in}{1ft}=18in\\b=(1+\frac{1}{2})ft\\b=\frac{3}{2}ft*\frac{12in}{1ft}=18in$

Now, we calculate the volume of the object in cubic inches:

$V=18in*18in*3in\\V=972in^3$

On a warm summer day (31 ∘c), it takes 4.60 s for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake. on a winter day, it takes 5.00 s

xenn [34]

The question is missing, but I guess the problem is asking for the distance between the cliff and the source of the sound.

First of all, we need to calculate the speed of sound at temperature of $T=31^{\circ}C$ :
$v=(331+0.60 T) m/s = (331+0.6 \cdot 31) m/s = 349.6 m/s$

The sound wave travels from the original point to the cliff and then back again to the original point in a total time of t=4.60 s. If we call L the distance between the source of the sound wave and the cliff, we can write (since the wave moves by uniform motion):
$v= \frac{2L}{t}$
where v is the speed of the wave, 2L is the total distance covered by the wave and t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate L, the distance between the source of the sound and the cliff:
$L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(349.6 m/s)/4.60 s)}{2}= 804.1 m$
