As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.
From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as
Where,
m = mass
= initial and final velocity
g = Gravity
h = height
As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:
Answer:
Work done = 35467.278 J
Explanation:
Given:
Height of the cone = 4m
radius (r) of the cone = 1.2m
Density of the cone = 600kg/m³
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
Now,
The total mass of the cone (m) = Density of the cone × volume of the cone
Volume of the cone =
thus,
volume of the cone = = 6.03 m³
therefore, the mass of the cone = 600 Kg/m³ × 6.03 m³ = 3619.11 kg
The center of mass for the cone lies at the times the total height
thus,
center of mass lies at, h' =
Now, the work gone (W) against gravity is given as:
W = mgh'
W = 3619.11kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1 = 35467.278 J
