Answer:

4.37 * 10^-4 J

Explanation:

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

m = mass = 10kg ; g = 9.8m/s² ; r = cross sectional Radius = 1cm = 1 * 10-2 m

Δl = mgl / πr²Y

Y = Youngs modulus = Y=3.5 ×10^10 ; l = Length = 1m

Δl = (10 * 9.8 * 1) / π * (1 * 10^-2)²* 3.5 ×10^10

Δl = 98 / 3.5 * π * 10^6

Δl = 0.00000891267

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

(10 * 9.8 * 0.00000891267) / 2

= 0.00043672083 J

What mass of water will fill a tank that is 100.0 cm long, 50.0 cm wide, and 30.0 cm high? Express the answer in grams.

Bond [772]

$calculate\ mass\ from\ formula\ for\ density:\\\\
density=volume*mass\\
mass=\frac{density}{volume}\\\\
volume=width*length*height\\
volume=100*50*30=150000cm^3=0,15m^3\\\\
density\ of\ water=\ 999.9720 \frac{kg}{m^3} \\\\mass=0,15*999.9720=149,9958kg=149995,8grams\\\\ Answer\ is\ :\\water\ which\ weight\ is\ equal\ to\ 149995,8grams.
