John is carrying a shovelful of snow. The center of mass of the 3.00 kg of snow he is holding is 15.0 cm from the end of the sho

vel. He is pushing down on the opposite end of the shovel with one hand and holding it up 30.0 cm from that end with his other hand. Ignore the mass of the shovel. Sarah says that his hand pushing down on the shovel must be exerting a greater force than the hand pushing up. James says it is just the reverse. Which one, if either, is correct?

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2

so here we have

F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 1.5 cm3 /min at the same time that water is being pumped into the
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

a) Check Explanation

b) Check Explanation

c) The rate at which water is being pumped into the tank = 2.631 cm³/min

Explanation:

Let the rate of flow of water into the tank be k cm³/min

a) The image of the conical tank is presented in the attached image

Note, the radius and height of a cone are related through the similar triangles principle.

As shown in the attached image, it is evident that

r/h = 3/10

r = 3h/10 = 0.3 h

b) The quantities given in the problem.

- Shape of the tank, conical tank, Hence volume of the tank = πr²h/3

- total height of the tank, H = 10 cm

- Radius of the tank at the top, R = D/2 = 6/2 = 3 cm

- rate at which water is leaking from the tank = 1.5 cm³/min

- water is being pumped into the tank at constant rate of k cm³/min

- As at height of water, h = 2 cm, the rate of rise in water level = 1 cm/min

c) volume of the tank at any time = πr²h/3

Rate of change in the volume of water in the tank = (rate of flow into the tank) - (Rate of water flow out of the tank)

dV/dt = k - 1.5

V = πr²h/3 and r = 0.3 h, r² = 0.09 h²

V = 0.03πh³

dV/dt = (dV/dh) × (dh/dt)

dV/dh = 0.09π h²

dV/dt = 0.09π h² (dh/dt)

dV/dt = k - 1.5

0.09π h² (dh/dt) = k - 1.5

But at h = 2 cm, (dh/dt) = 1.0 cm/min

0.09π h² (dh/dt) = k - 1.5

0.09π 2² (1) = k - 1.5

k - 1.5 = 1.131

k = 1.5 + 1.131 = 2.631 cm³/min
