Assume that you have a rectangular tank with its top at ground level. The length and width of the top are 14 feet and 7 feet, re

spectively, and the bottom of the tank is 15 feet beneath ground level. How much work W does it take to empty the tank by pumping the liquid back to ground level once the tank is full?

To solve this problem we will use the work theorem, for which we have that the Force applied on the object multiplied by the distance traveled by it, is equivalent to the total work. From the measurements obtained we have that the width and the top are 14ft and 7ft respectively. In turn, the bottom of the tank is 15ft. Although the weight of the liquid is not given we will assume this value of 62 lb / ft ^ 3 (Whose variable will remain modifiable until the end of the equations subsequently presented to facilitate the change of this, in case be different). Now the general expression for the integral of work would be given as

W = \gamma A * \int_0^15 dy

Basically under this expression we are making it difficult for the weight of the liquid multiplied by the area (Top and widht) under the integral of the liquid path to be equivalent to the total work done, then replacing

W = (62)(14*7)\int^{15}_0 (15-y)dy

W = (14*7*62)\big [15y-\frac{y^2}{2}\big ]^{15}_0

W = (14*7*62)[15(15)-\frac{(15)^2}{2}]

W = 683550ft-lbs

Therefore the total work in the system is 683550ft-lbs

If you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time you can determine
Nutka1998 [239]
With that information, you can determine the object's speed.
Just divide the distance covered by the time to cover the distance.

If you also know the direction the object moved, then you can
determine its velocity.  If you don't, then you can't.

A cube of side 3.56 cm has a charge of 9.11 μ C placed at its center. Calculate the electric flux through one side of the cube
Nady [450]
Flux=q/e0
e0=8.85*10^-12
!!! Cube has 6 sides, so flux through one side is equal to total flux/6
Ans=9.11*10^(-6)/((8.85*10(-12))*6)=(approximately)1.72*10^5Nm^2/C

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a)  Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s        

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

    Here s = 400 radians

              t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²

    Substituting

             400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

              u = 30 rad/s

   Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Here u = 30 rad/s

               t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²  

    Substituting

             v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s    

   Final angular speed = 70 rad/s
