A tank, in the shape of a cube with each side measuring 2 meters, is half-full of water. Above the water is air that is pressuri

zed to 5 kPa. Calculate the resultant force on one side of the tank due to the air and water (ignore atmospheric pressure) and determine the height of this force above the bottom of the tank.

Answer:

Explanation:

The tank is half full so height of water level is at 1 m . Centre of gravity of water will be at height of .5 m . Pressure will act at this point .

Pressure = h d g where h is height of centre of mass of water column , d is density of water and g is acceleration due to gravity .

Pressure of water column  = .5 x 10³ x 9.8 = 4.9 k Pa .

Air is pressurized to 5 kPa so

resultant pressure  on one side of the tank due to the air and water

= 4.9 + 5 kPa = 9.9 kPa .

Total force on one face = pressure x area of one face under water

= 9.9 x 10³ x .5 x 2²

= 19.8 kN .

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator

How does a force pumb works​
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

A force pump can be used to raise water by a height of more than 10m, the maximum height allowed by atmospheric pressure using a common lift pump.

In a force pump, the upstroke of the piston draws water, through an inlet valve, into the cylinder. On the downstroke, the water is discharged, through an outlet valve, into the outlet pipe.
