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}

Answer:

Left

Explanation:

newtons is a measure of force. Since there is more newtons(force) pushing to the left, the object will move left. the 15 newtons cancel each other out, leaving only 5 newtons pushing to one side with no resistance.

tia_tia [17]

Answer: Cell's nucleus

Explanation :

The full form of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic acid. The genetic information of a cell is organized in the DNA. It is inherited from parents by their children.

DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's nucleus. It has a shape like a double helix. It is twisted in the form of spirals.

Hence, DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's Nucleus.

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same
