A pump is partially submerged in oil and is supported by 4 springs. The oil has a specific gravity of 0.90, the weight of the pu

mp is 14.6 lb, and the submerged volume is 40 in3. What force is needed in the springs so that the pump will remain in static equilibrium

7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

submerged volume of pump = 40 x 12⁻³ ft³

density of oil = .9 x 62.4 lb ft⁻³ ( specific gravity x density of water )

mass of displaced oil = 40 x 12⁻³ x  .9 x 62.4 lb

= 1.3 lb

buoyant force = 1.3 lb

weight of pump = 14.6 lb

extra force needed for balancing pump by spring

= 14.6 - 1.3

= 13.3 lb .

The first step in turning a rock into a sediment is ________. Select one:
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The first step in turning a rock into a sediment is Compaction .

Explanation:

Lithification is a process of changing rock into sediments. There are two steps for a rock to lithify. These steps are as follows

  • The first step of lithification is compaction where sediments are erosed together by weight of the it. Thus, the upper layers of sediments causes compaction of lower layers.
  • The next process of lithification is cementation. In this fluids fill the space between the loose particles.

Hence, the first step for turning rock into sediments is compaction.

g Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.Can a rigid b
Advocard [28]

Answer:

<em>No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.</em>

Explanation:

If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)

For a body under this type of equilibrium,

ΣF = 0   ...1

where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)

For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as

ΣF = ma   ...2

where m is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have

0 = ma

therefore,

a = 0

this means that<em> if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.</em>

Answer:

plz mark me as brainliest plz

Explanation:

The gravitational force of the earth keeps us bound to the earth. Gravitational force between earth and sun makes the earth move around the sun. Gravitational force between moon and earth makes the moon go around the earth.

A 7300 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.20 m/s2 and feels no appreci
Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall first calculate the velocity at height h = 575 m .

acceleration a = 2.2 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 a s

u is initial velocity , v is final velocity , s is height achieved

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.2 x 575

v = 50.3 m /s

After 575 m , rocket moves under free fall so g will act on it downwards

If it travels further by height H

from the relation

v² = u² - 2 g H

v = 0 , u = 50.3 m /s

H = ?

0 = 50.3² - 2 x 9.8 H

H = 129.08 m

Total height attained by rocket

= 575 + 129.08

= 704.08 m .
