Answer:

The amount of workdone by in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is \mathbf{ 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}

Explanation:

Given that the tank is 6 feet across the top and 5 feet high.

Using the similar triangles.

\dfrac{3}{5}  = \dfrac{r}{y}

5r = 3y

r = \dfrac{3}{5} y

Thus; each disc is a circle with area

A = \pi ( \frac{3}{5} y)^2

The weight of each disc is ;

m = \rho_{water}A

= 62.4 × \pi ( \frac{3}{5} y)^2

= \dfrac{561.6}{25} \pi y^2

The distance pumped is 5-y

Thus; the workdone in pumping the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is :

W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25} \int\limits^5_0 {(5-y)} \, y^2dy

W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25} \int\limits^5_0 {(5y^2-y^3)} dy

W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25}[52.083]

\mathbf{W = 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}

The amount of workdone by in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is \mathbf{ 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}

Find the force necessary to pull a 6 kg object 3 m/s2
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

<h2>18 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 6 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>18 N</h3>

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.

What is the weight of the ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200.0 mL container? The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL
sweet [91]

Answer:

1.55 N

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

0.789 g/mL = m / 200.0 mL

m = 157.8 g

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = (0.1578 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

W = 1.55 N
