A box-shaped aquarium has horizontal dimensions 0.5 m by 1 m, and depth 0.5 m, and is filled two-thirds of the way to the surfac

e. As it is being transported downwards in an elevator, someone accidentally presses the emergency stop button, such that the elevator comes to rest with a deceleration of magnitude 2g, where the gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2 . Calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and the surface of the tank.

Answer:

3270 N/m^2

Explanation:

we can calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and surface of the tank by applying the equation for the net vertical pressure

Py = - Ph ( g ± a )

for a downward movement

Py = - Ph ( g - a )  ------ ( 1 )

From the above data given will  be

p = 1000 kg/m^3, h = 2/3 * 0.5 = 0.33 m , a =2g , g = 9.81

input values into equation 1  becomes

Py =  -Ph ( g - 2g ) = Phg ------ ( 3 )

Py = 1000 * 0.33 * 9.81

    = 3270 N/m^2

The 15-kg block A slides on the surface for which µk = 0.3. The block has a velocity v = 10 m/s when it is s = 4 m from the 10-k
sammy [17]

Answer:

s_max = 0.8394m

Explanation:

From equilibrium of block, N = W = mg

Frictional force = μ_k•N = μ_k•mg

Since μ_k = 0.3,then F = 0.3mg

To determine the velocity of Block A just before collision, let's apply the principle of work and energy;

T1 + ΣU_1-2 = T2

So, (1/2)m_a•(v_ao)² - F•s =(1/2)m_a•(v_a1)²

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

(1/2)•(15)•(10)² - (0.3•15•9.81•4) =(1/2)(15)•(v_a1)²

750 - 176.58 = 7.5(v_a1)²

v_a1 = 8.744 m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum;

Σ(m1v1) = Σ(m2v2)

Thus,

m_a•v_a1 + m_b•v_b1 = m_a•v_a2 + m_b•v_b2

Thus;

15(8.744) + 10(0) = 15(v_a2) + 10(v_b2)

Divide through by 5;

3(8.744) + 2(0) = 3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2)

Thus,

3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2) = 26.232 - - - (eq1)

Coefficient of restitution has a formula;

e = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(v_a1 - v_b1)

From the question, e = 0.6.

Thus;

0.6 = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(8.744 - 0)

0.6 x 8.744 = (v_b2 - v_a2)

(v_b2 - v_a2) = 5.246 - - - (eq2)

Solving eq(1) and 2 simultaneously, we have;

v_b2 = 8.394 m/s

v_a2 = 3.148 m/s

Now, to find maximum compression, let's apply conservation of energy on block B;

T1 + V1 = T2 + V2

Thus,

(1/2)m_b•(v_b2)² + (1/2)k(s_1)² = (1/2)m_b•(v_b'2)² + (1/2)k(s_max)²

(1/2)10•(8.394)² + (1/2)1000(0)² = (1/2)10•(0)² + (1/2)(1000)(s_max)²

500(s_max)² = 352.29618

(s_max)² = 352.29618/500

(s_max)² = 0.7046

s_max = 0.8394m
