Answer:

Weight = 966 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length = 1.2 m

Width = 2.3 m

Pressure = 350 Pa

To find the weight of the tank;

We know that weight is the force of gravity acting on an object multiplied by its mass.

Weight = mg = force

Hence, we would determine the force using the parameters that were given.

But we would first determine the area of the rectangular tank.

Area of rectangle, A = length * width

A = 1.2 * 2.3

A = 2.76 m²

Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = force/area

Force = pressure * area

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Force = 2.76 * 350

Force = 966 Newton

Therefore, the weight of the tank is 966 Newton.

Answer:

v = 15.45 m/s

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation we can say that here since friction is present in the barrel so we will have

Work done by friction force = Loss in mechanical energy

so we will have

W_f = (U_i + K_i) - (U_f + K_f)

here we know that

W_f = F_f . d

W_f = 40 \times 4

W_f = 160 J

Initial compression in the spring is given as

F = kx

4400 = 1100 x

x = 4 m

now from above equation

W_f = (\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + 0) - (mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2)

160 = (\frac{1}{2}1100(4^2) + 0) - (60 \times 9.8\times 2.50 + \frac{1}{2}(60)v^2)

160 = 8800 - 1470 - 30 v^2

v = 15.45 m/s
