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>

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor = how
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

Explanation:

In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:

N = \frac{12\,oz}{12\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{12\,oz}{5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{3\,oz}{1.5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }

N = 1\,dr+2.4\,dr+2\,dr

N = 5.4\,dr

N = 6\,dr

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

A 57 kg person in a rollercoaster moving through the bottom of a curved track of radius 42.7 m feels a normal force of 995 N. Ho
natita [175]

Answer:

Use Fc centripetal force as positive and W the weight as negative

N = m v^2 / R + m g

v^2 = (N - m g) R / m

v^2 = (995 - 57 * 9.8) 42.7 / 57 = 327 m^2/s^2

v = 18.1 m/s

Note: N - m g is the net force producing the centripetal force

A force of 1 newton will cause a mass of 1 kg to have an acceleration of 1 m/s^2. If a force of 5 newtons is applied to a mass o
nignag [31]

For any force and any mass, the acceleration is always

(the strength of the force) divided by (the mass) .

If a force of 5 newtons is applied to a mass of 5 kg, the acceleration will be

(5 Newtons) / (5 kg) = <em>1 m/s²</em>
