Answer:

Explanation:
m = Mass of each rod
L = Length of rod = Radius of ring
= Mass of ring
Moment of inertia of a spoke

For 8 spokes

Moment of inertia of ring

Total moment of inertia

The moment of inertia of the wheel through an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is
.
Answer:
a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]
Explanation:
With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base
L = length = 10[m]
W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]
A = W * L = 0.18*10
A = 1.8[m^2]
a)
Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:
P = density * g *h
where:
density = 1000[kg/m^3]
g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]
h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]
P = 1000*9.81*0.04
P = 392.4[Pa]
The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:
P = F/A
F = P*A
F = 392.4*1.8
F = 706.32[N]
I believe it is green at 1,550
