The base of a rectangular tank measures 10 ft by 20 ft. The tank is 16 ft tall, and its top is 10 ft below ground level. The tan

k is full of water weighing 62.4 lb/ft3. How much work does it take to empty the tank by pumping the water to ground level? Give your answer to the nearest ft ∙ lb.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a rectangular tank with dimension (10ft by 20ft by 16ft)

Then the volume of the tank is

Volume =length × breadth ×height

Volume=10×20×16=3200ft³

V=3200ft³

Then,

∆F= weight density × volume

∆F= 62.4×3200

∆F= 199,680 lb

Then,

Let the 0-point on the x-axis be at the bottom of the tank, so the level of the water ranges from x = 0 to x = 16ft. (It would just as well to let 0 be ground level and let x range from x = −26ft to x − 0.) Then a slice of water at level x is raised (26− x)ft

Then ∆x=(26-x)ft

Work is given as

W= -∫F∆xdx. From 0 to 16

W= -∫199,680(26-x)dx From 0 to 16

W=-199,680∫26-x dx From 0 to 16

W=-199,680 (26x-x²/2). From 0 to 16

W=-199,680(26×16-0.5×16² -0-0)

W=-199,680(288)

W=-57,507,840J

The work done to empty the tank is 57,507,840J

Answer:

2 X 10∧6 ft.lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular tank =  Base area X Height = (10 X 20 X 16)ft³ = 3200ft³

Mass of tank filled with water = 3200ft³ X 62.4 lb/ft³ = 199680lb or 90706.37kg

Hence, work done due to gravity,Δg = m * g * h, where, m = mass of tank, g = gravity = 9.8m/s² and h = height = 10ft or 3.05 meter(m)

∴ Δg = 90706.37 * 9.8 * 3.05 =  2.711 X10∧6 J or 2 X 10∧6 ft.lb

Help, and if you can give me a step by step explanation
Llana [10]

Answer:

the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

variability !

what does that word tell us ?

it means that there are more individuals differences.

you could also use "accuracy" as the opposite - we are aiming for the mean value ...

imagine some bow and arrow tournament.

who wins ?

the person with the highest accuracy across all the attempts (and that means the lowest variability in the results across all attempts relatively to the target center representing the predefined mean value).

now look at the graphic for neighborhood A.

and then for neighborhood B.

which one has the data points more clustered around the center (where the mean value is going to be) ? this one has lower variability than the one where the data points are having more than one cluster or are even all over the place.

remember, for the variability you have to add all the differences to the mean value. the smaller the differences to the mean value, the smaller the variability.

in neighborhood B almost all data points have a larger difference to the mean value.

so, the variability will be higher here.

29. A carpenter worked for 4 days to finish a repair job. She charged $825 for 15 hours plus $278 for materials. What is the carpenter's rate per hour? Let’s start solving: => 825 dollars + 278 dollars = 1 103 dollars is the total payment a carpenter have received => 15 hours is the total hours he worked => 1 103 / 15 = 73.5 dollars per hour. This is already including the material or equipment fee.
