Find the work done in pumping gasoline that weighs 6600 newtons per cubic meter. A cylindrical gasoline tank 3 meters in diamete

r and 6 meters long is carried on the back of a truck and is used to fuel tractors. The axis of the tank is horizontal. The opening on the tractor tank is 5 meters above the top of the tank in the truck. Find the work done in pumping the entire contents of the fuel tank into the tractor.

Answer:

<em>work done in pumping the entire fuel is 1399761 J</em>

Explanation:

weight per volume of the gasoline = 6600 N/m^3

diameter of the tank = 3 m

length of the tank = 6 m

The height of the tractor tank above the top of the tank = 5 m

The total volume of the fuel is gotten below

we know that the tank is cylindrical.

<em>we assume that the fuel completely fills the tank.</em>

therefore, the volume of a cylinder =

where r = radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m

volume of the cylinder = 3.142 x x 6 = 42.417 m^3

we then proceed to find the total weight of the fuel in Newton

total weight = (weight per volume) x volume

total weight = 6600 x 42.417 = 279952.2 N

therefore,

the work done to pump the fuel through to the 5 m height = (total weight of the fuel) x (height through which the fuel is pumped)

work done in pumping = 279952.2 x 5 = <em>1399761 J</em>

How can we magnetise a piece of iron.

liq [111]

Place the magnet at one end of the piece of metal. The magnet must make as much contact with the metal as possible. Place light pressure on the magnet and rub the metal in one direction only. Magnetization will take some time to accomplish so continue rubbing until the iron or steel attracts other pieces of metal.

For a moon orbiting its planet, rp is the shortest distance between the moon and its planet andra is the longest distance betwee

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity $e$ of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

$e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}$

Where:

$r_{a}$ is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

$r_{p}=0.27 r_{a}$ is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

$e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}$

$e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}$

$e=0.57$ This is the moon's orbital eccentricity
