4.472 tonnes of coal burned

Explanation:

The electricity consumption for a typical house in the United States for a year is approximated as 11,000 kWh.

Given that a typical coal-fired power plant produces 2,460 kWh of electricity  per ton of coal burned then;

2460 kWh = 1 ton of coal burned

11,000 kWh =?

cross-product

(11,000*1)÷ 2460 = 4.472 tonnes of coal burned

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?
stepan [7]
The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>

A​ right-circular cylindrical tank of height 8 ft and radius 4 ft is laying horizontally and is full of fuel weighing 52 ​lb/ft3
tresset_1 [31]

Given:

Height of tank = 8 ft

and we need to pump fuel weighing 52 lb/ ft^{3} to a height of 13 ft above the tank top

Solution:

Total height = 8+13 =21 ft

pumping dist = 21 - y

Area of cross-section = \pi r^{2} =  \pi 4^{2} =16\pi ft^{2}

Now,

Work done required = \int_{0}^{8} 52\times 16\pi (21 - y)dy

                                  = 832\pi \int_{0}^{8} (21 - y)dy

                                  = 832\pi([ 21y ]_{0}^{8} - [\frac{y^{2}}{2}]_{0}^{8}\\)

                                  = 113152\pi = 355477 ft-lb

Therefore work required to pump the fuel is 355477 ft-lb
