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

Charge is distributed uniformly on the surface of a large flat plate. the electric field 2 cm from the plate is 30 n/c. the elec
AysviL [449]
The electric field produced by a large flat plate with uniform charge density on its surface can be found by using Gauss law, and it is equal to
E= \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}
where
\sigma is the charge density
\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

We see that the intensity of the electric field does not depend on the distance from the plate. Therefore, the strenght of the electric field at 4 cm from the plate is equal to the strength of the electric field at 2 cm from the plate:
E=30 N/C

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a planet? A. must orbit a star, but is not a star or satellite of another planet
Ket [755]

Answer:

D. must have a moon

Explanation:

Scientists say that a planet must orbit a star, must be round, and must be big enough so its gravity clears its orbit of other objects. Therefore, the statement that is not a requirement for a planet is

D. must have a moon

For example, Mercury and Venus are planets with no moons.

If it takes you 30 seconds to move a chair 20 meters across the floor, using a force of 5 Newton’s, how much power did you put o
natta225 [31]

Answer:

3.33 Joules Per Second

Explanation:

Before finding the Power, we need to calculate the Work Done. The Work Done can be calculated using the formula:

WD = F × d

where F is the Magnitude of Force in <em>N</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>d is the Parallel Distance moved by the object in <em>m</em><em>.</em>

Hence, by Applying this formula, we get:

WD = (5)(20)

= 100 J

From here calculating Power is simple as it is the Rate of Work Done. Hence,

Power = 100/30

= <u>3</u><u>.</u><u>3</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>J</u><u>/</u><u>s</u>

Therefore, the power put out is <u>3</u><u>.</u><u>3</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>J</u><u>o</u><u>u</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>S</u><u>e</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u>.</u>
