Answer:
E. Zero Maximum
Explanation:
At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:
- The restoring force is given by , where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well
- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).
Answer:
<em>The power required by the pump is nearly 230.588 kW</em>
Explanation:
Flow rate of the pump Q = 1 m^3/s
the head flow H = 20 m
specific weight of water γ = 9800 N/m^3
efficiency of the pump η = 85%
First note that specific gravity of water is the product of the density of water and acceleration due to gravity.
γ = ρg
where ρ is density. For water its value is 1000 kg/m^3
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
The power to lift this water at this rate will be gotten from the equation
P = ρgQH
but ρg = γ
therefore,
P = γQH
imputing values, we'll have
P = 9800 x 1 x 20 = 196000 W
But the centrifugal pump that will be used will only be able to lift this amount of water after the efficiency factor has been considered. The power of pump needed must be greater than this power.
we can say that
196000 W is 85% of the power of the pump power needed, therefore
196000 = 85% of
where is the power of the pump needed
85% = 0.85
196000 = 0.85
= 196000/0.85 = 230588.24 W
<em>Pump power = 230.588 kW</em>
