d. On the afternoon of January 15, 1919, an unusually warm day in Boston, a 17.7-m-high, 27.4-m-diameter cylindrical metal tank

used for storing molasses ruptured. Molasses flooded into the streets in a 5-m-deep stream, killing pedestrians and horses and knocking down buildings. The molasses had a density of 1600 kg>m3 . If the tank was full before the accident, what was the total outward force the molasses exerted on its sides

Answer:

F = 1.638 x 10⁸ N = 163.8 MN

Explanation:

The total force exerted by the molasses is given as:

F = PA

where,

F = Force exerted by the molasses = ?

P = Pressure = ρgh

ρ = density of molasses = 1600 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height of tank = 17.7 m

A = cross-sectional area of tank = πr²

r = radius of tank = 27.4 m/2 = 13.7 m

Therefore,

F = \rho ghA = \rho gh(\pi r^2)\\\\F = (1600\ kg/m^3)(9.81\ m/s^2)(17.7\ m)(\pi)(13.7\ m)^2

<u>F = 1.638 x 10⁸ N = 163.8 MN</u>

What does the statement "all motion is relative"<br> mean?
tekilochka [14]
The statement that motion is relative is an important concept in physics. The meaning behind this statement is that the motion of an object is relative to either the frame of reference of the observer, or to another distinct frame of reference.

In a novel from 1866 the author describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon with a speed of about 11.000 m/s. The spac
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a=0.284\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initially, the spaceship was at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the spaceship, v = 11 m/s

Distance accelerated by the spaceship, d = 213 m

We need to find the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during the launch. It is a concept based on the equation of kinematics. Using the third equation of motion to find acceleration.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(11)^2-(0)^2}{2\times 213}\\\\a=0.284\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship is 0.284\ m/s^2.
