A fuel oil tank is an upright cylinder, buried so that its circular top is 14 feet beneath ground level. the tank has a radius o

f 5 feet and is 15 feet high, although the current oil level is only 14 feet deep. calculate the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface. oil weighs 50lb/ft350lb/ft3.

Say we have a cylinder that has a height of dx, we see that the cylinder has a volume of: <span>

<span>Vcylinder = πr^2*h = π(5)^2(dx) = 25π dx

Then, the weight of oil in this cylinder is: 

Fcylinder = 50 * Vcylinder = (50)(25π dx) = 1250π dx. 

Then, since the oil x feet from the top of the tank needs to travel x feet to get the top, we have: 

Wcylinder = Force x Distance = (1250π dx)(x) = 1250π x dx. 

<span>Integrating from x1 to x2 ft gives the total work to be: (x1 = distance from top liquid level to ground level; x2 = distance from bottom liquid level to ground level)</span>

<span>W = ∫ 1250π x dx  
<span>W = 1250π ∫ x dx
W = 625π * (x2 – x1)</span></span></span></span>

<span>x2 = 14 ft  + 15 ft = 29 ft</span>

x1 = 14 ft + 1 ft = 15 ft

<span>
W = 625π * (29^2 - 15^2) 
<span>W = 385,000π ft-lbs = 1,209,513.17 ft-lbs</span></span>

Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

A ferry approaches shore, moving north with a speed of 6.2 m/s relative to the dock. A person on the ferry walks from one side o
jasenka [17]

Speed of Ferry is towards North with magnitude 6.2 m/s

Here if we assume that North direction is along Y axis and East is along X axis then we can say

\vec v_f = 6.2 \hat j

Now a person walk on ferry with speed 1.5 m/s towards east with respect to Ferry

so it is given as

\vec v_{pf} = 1.5 \hat i

also by the concept of relative motion we know that

\vec v_{pf} = \vec v_p - \vec v_f

now plug in all values in it

1.5 \hat i = \vec v_p - 6.2 \hat j

\vec v_p = 1.5 \hat i + 6.2 \hat j

now if we need to find the speed of the person then we need to find its magnitude

so it is given as

v = \sqrt{1.5^2 + 6.2^2}

v = 6.37 m/s

James and Juan were at the highest point in the football stadium, dropping water balloons on people below. Many of the balloons
Fofino [41]
When you add more water to the balloon, it makes it heavier. Therefore it would weigh the balloon down ( increasing mass) and increasing the energy to plummet down. So the answer is B.

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an
pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!
