Why are water storage tanks usually placed on high towers

2 answers:

7 0

Thay are on high towers because if it was below how would the water flow. Putting it on high towers gives you an advantage of the gravity with means you got free pressure without having to use a pump.

Water pressure = Height * density * gravity

To increase the water pressure that flows from it. Allowing the water to go to the maximum amount of houses.

A man pushes on piano with mass 170 kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 20.0 ∘ above the horizont

nikdorinn [45]

Answer

given,

mass of the piano = 170 kg

angle of the inclination = 20°

moves with constant velocity hence acceleration = 0 m/s²

neglecting friction

so, force required to pull the piano

F = m g sin θ

F = 170 × 9.81 × sin 20°

F = 570.39 N

so, force required by the man to push the piano is F = 570.39 N

You have a pulley 10.4 cm in diameter and with a mass of 2.3 kg. You get to wondering whether the pulley is uniform. That is, is

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of Pulley=10.4 cm

mass of Pulley(m)=2.3 kg

mass of book $(m_0)=1.7 kg$

height(h)=1 m

time taken=0.64 s

$h=ut+frac{at^2}{2}$

$1=0+\frac{a(0.64)^2}{2}$

$a=4.88 m/s^2and [tex]a=\alpha r$

where $\alpha$ is angular acceleration of pulley

$4.88=\alpha \times 5.2\times 10^{-2}$

$\alpha =93.84 rad/s^2$

And Tension in Rope

$T=m(g-a)$

$T=1.7\times (9.8-4.88)$

T=8.364 N

and Tension will provide Torque

$T\times r=I\cdot \alpha$

$8.364\times 5.2\times 10^{-2}=I\times 93.84$

$I=0.463\times 10^{-2} kg-m^2$

$I_{original}=\frac{mr^2}{2}=0.31\times 10^{-2}kg-m^2$

Thus mass is uniformly distributed or some more towards periphery of Pulley

An object is moving at 2.50 m/s [E]. At a time 3.00 seconds later the object is traveling at 1.50 m/s

babunello [35]

Given parameters:

First velocity = 2.50m/s

Time of travel = 3s

Second velocity = 1.50m/s

Unknown:

The displacement during the first interval = ?

Velocity is the displacement of a body with time. Displacement is a distance move in a specific direction by a body.

Velocity = $\frac{Displacement}{Time taken}$

So;

Displacement = Velocity x Time taken

Now input the parameter for the first velocity and time of travel;

Displacement = 2.5 x 3 = 7.5m

The displacement id 7.5m
