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) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a fresh- water lake at a depth of 27.5 m. Assume the density of the water i
ddd [48]

Answer:

a) P = 370.993\,kPa, b) F = 25.948\,kN

Explanation:

a) The absolute pressure at a depth of 27.5 meters is:

P = P_{atm} + P_{man}

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (27.5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 370.993\,kPa

b) The force exerted by the water is:

F = (P - P_{atm})\cdot A

F = (370.993\,kPa-101.3\,kPa)\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

F = 25.948\,kN

How does reflection differ from refraction and diffraction?
tankabanditka [31]
Refraction: It is the phenomena of bending of light when it changes it medium. This can rarer to denser or denser to rarer. Refraction and Diffraction are just bending of light. Whereas, Reflection is getting back the light you've thrown from a source of light.
