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>

A hollow cylinder that is rolling without slipping is given a velocity of 5.0 m/s and rolls up an incline to a vertical height o
inysia [295]

Answer:

The hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, total kinetic energy = total potential energy

M.E_T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 + mgh

The total energy at the bottom of the inclined plane = total energy at the top of the inclined plane.

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_i^2 + mg(0) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_f^2 + mgh

moment of inertia, I, of a hollow cylinder = ¹/₂mr²

substitute for I in the equation above;

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_i^2) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_f^2) + mgh\\\\ but \ v = r \omega\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_i^2  ) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_f^2) + mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\\frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\mgh = \frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2\\\\gh = \frac{3}{4}v_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}v_f^2\\\\

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2)

given;

v₁ = 5.0 m/s

vf = 0

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2) =\frac{3}{4*9.8}(5^2 -0) = 1.91 \ m

Therefore, the hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m
