Answer:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

Explanation:

For this problem to be easier to calculate, we can represent the triangle as a right triangle whose right angle is located at the origin of a coordinate system. (See picture attached).

With this disposition of the triangle, we can start finding our integral. The hydrostatic force can be set as an integral with the following shape:

\int\limits^a_bγhxdy

we know that γ=62.5 lb/ft^{3}

from the drawing, we can determine the height (or depth under the water) of each differential area is given by:

h=8-y

x can be found by getting the equation of the line, which we'll get by finding the slope of the line and using one of the points to complete the equation:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}

when substituting the x and y-values given on the graph, we get that the slope is:

m=\frac{0-6}{7-0}=-\frac{6}{7}

once we got this slope, we can substitute it in the point-slope form of the equation:

y_{2}-y_{1}=m(x_{2}-x_{1})

which yields:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}(x-0)

which simplifies to:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}x

we can now solve this equation for x, so we get that:

x=-\frac{7}{6}y+7

with this last equation, we can substitute everything into our integral, so it will now look like this:

\int\limits^6_0{(62.5)(8-y)(-\frac{7}{6}y+7)}\,dy

Now that it's all written in terms of y we can now simplify it, so we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)}dy

we can now proceed and evaluate it.

When using the power rule on each of the terms, we get the integral to be:

62.5[\frac{7}{18}y^{3}-\frac{49}{6}y^{2}+56y]^{6}_{0}

By using the fundamental theorem of calculus we get:

62.5[(\frac{7}{18}(6)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(6)^{2}+56(6))-(\frac{7}{18}(0)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(0)^{2}+56(0))]

When solving we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

victus00 [196]

Answer:

9000 J

Explanation:

Convert minutes to seconds.

2 min = 120 s

Power = energy / time

75 W = E / 120 s

E = 9000 J

An equipoterntial surface that surrounds a + 3.0 pC point charge has a radius of 2.0 cm. What is the potential of this surface?​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Electric potential = 0.00054 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge; q = 3 pC = 3 × 10^(-12) C

Radius; r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Formula for the electric potential of this surface will be;

V = kqr

Where;

K is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N⋅m²/C².

Thus;

V = 9 × 10^(9) × 3 × 10^(-12) × 0.02

V = 0.00054 V

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity to
AveGali [126]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Humidity is the amount water vapor present in the atmosphere.

Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of partial water vapor present in air to the actual water vapor at a particular temperature. It is expressed in percentage and the higher the percentage RH, the more the saturated water vapor present in the atmosphere and vice versa.

It is expressed mathematically as shown;

RH = actual water vapor in air/saturated water vapor × 100%

If the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter and the air's capacity to hold water vapor was 8 grams per cubic meter

Actual water vapor = 4g/cm³

Air's water capacity (saturated water vapor) = 8g/cm³

RH = 4/8×100

RH = 50%
