Answer:

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.

Explanation:

Given that

Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr

Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr

Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr

If we treat as filling of tank is a work then

Work = time x rate

Lets take work is 1 unit

1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c)          ---------1

1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c)           ----------2

1 = 2(1/b+1/c)             --------3

From equation 1 and 3

1=1(1/a+1/2)

a=2

Form equation 2

1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)

c=6

From equation 3

 1 = 2(1/b+1/6)  

b=3

So time taken by

A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr

B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr

C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr

So time\ taken\ by\ A\ and\ B =\dfrac{2\times 3}{2+3} hr

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.

A boy, standing at point O, is whirling a ball on a string over his head. After several whirls, he lets go of the string and the
Vikki [24]
When a ball is whirled using a string, it is restricted to move only in circular motion because the net force acting on the ball is towards the center of the circle. Hence, the acceleration of the ball is towards the center. But the velocity of ball is tangential to this circular path all the time. When the whirling is stropped, the string becomes slack and tension in the string becomes zero. The ball no more performs circular motion and the ball moves tangentially to the circle in straight line. Therefore, before letting go, velocity was variable. After letting go, velocity becomes constant.

A 4.50-kg wheel that is 34.5 cm in diametet rotates through an angle of 13.8 rad as it slows down uniformly from 22.0 rad/s to 1
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

\alpha =10.93radian/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given given the final angular velocity \omega _{final}=13.5rad/sec

And \omega _{initial}=22rad/sec

Displacement \Theta =13.8radian

We have to find the angular acceleration \alpha

According to law of motion \omega _{final}^2=\omega _{initial}^2+2\alpha \Theta

So 13.5^2=22^2+2\times \alpha \times 13.8

\alpha =-10.93radian/sec^2

In question we have tell about magnitude only so \alpha =10.93radian/sec^2
