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>

a 5.00 kg plane is speeding up on the ground with an applied force of 706 N. If the net force is 450 N, what would be the force
loris [4]

Answer:

The force due to air resistance is 256 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the plane, m = 5 kg

applied force on the plane, Fa = 706 N

the net force on the plane, ∑F= 450 N

Let the force due to air resistance = Fr

The net force on the plane is given as;

Net force = applied force - force due to air resistance

∑F = Fa - Fr

Fr = Fa - ∑F

Fr = 706 - 450

Fr = 256 N.

Therefore, the force due to air resistance is 256 N.

Mateo’s parents are thinking about investing money to help develop a new fusion power plant. Which issue is most important to co
Tasya [4]

Answer:

D) Fusion requires high temperatures and pressures, so how have they reduced the energy cost for it?

Explanation:

Fusion requires high temperatures and pressure for initiation of reaction . There is no chain reaction in it so there is no problem of controlling the problem . On the other hand , the reaction tends to stop as soon as temperature goes down due to heat getting dissipated . There is no problem of fuel as its fuel is deuterium which is present in nature in large amount . The question which is pertinent is that the cost involved in attaining so high temperature is very high so is it cost effective to produce energy by incurring so much of cost . Producing energy by using so much of energy in the beginning appears to be preposterous.
