A bag containing originally 60 kg of flour is lifted through a vertical distance of 9 m. While it is being lifted, flour is leak

ing from the bag at such rate that the number of pounds lost is proportional to the square root of the distance traversed. If the total loss of flour is 12 kg find the amount of work done in lifting the bag.

Answer:

The amount of work done in lifting the bag is -20109.6 N-m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bag = 60 kg

Distance = 9 m

Loss of mass = 12 kg

The number of pounds lost is proportional to the square root of the distance traversed

Mass of the bag containing flour at height is

m(y)=60-k\sqrt{y}

Put the value into the formula

60-k\sqrt{y}=12

k=144

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

W=\int_{0}^{9}{m(y)gdy}

Put the value into the formula

W=\int_{0}^{9}{(60-k\sqrt{y})gdy}

W=((60y-\dfrac{2k}{3}\times y^{\frac{3}{2}}})_{0}^{9})\times9.8

Put the value of y

W=(60\times9-\dfrac{2\times144}{3}\times 9^{\frac{3}{2}})\times9.8

W=-20109.6\ N-m

Hence, The amount of work done in lifting the bag is -20109.6 N-m

Answer:

The total work done is 5997.6 J

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the bag, m = 60 kg

Vertical distance, h = 9 m

Mass lost, m' = 12 kg

To calculate the amount of work done:

Lost mass is proportional to the square root of the distance covered while lifting:

m' ∝ \sqrt{h}

m' = K\sqrt{9}

where

K = proportionality constant

12 = 3K

K = 4

Mass of the floor containing bag at a height h:

m(h) = 60 - k\sqrt{h}

Work done is given by:

W = \int_{0}^{h}m(h)gdh

W = \int_{0}^{9}(60 - k\sqrt{h})gdh

W = g([60h]_{0}^{9} + 4\times \frac{2}{3}[h^{\frac{3}{2}}]_{0}^{9})

W = 9.8\times ([60\times 9 - 0] + \frac{8}{3}[9^{\frac{3}{2}} - 0^{\frac{3}{2}}])

W = 9.8\times (540 + \frac{8}{3}\times 27) = 5997.6\ J = 5.9976\ kJ

Compare the force of air resistance and the force of gravity on an object falling at its terminal velocity.
Sholpan [36]
The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.

trapecia [35]

Answer: Option B: 1.3×10⁵ W

Explanation:

Power = \frac{Work \hspace{1mm} done}{Time}

P=\frac{W}{t}

Work Done, W= F.s

Where s is displacement in the direction of force and F is force.

\Rightarrow P = \frac{F.s}{t} =F \times \frac{s}{t}=F.v

where, v is the velocity.

It is given that, F = 5.75 × 10³N

v = 22 m/s

P = 5.75 × 10³N×22 m/s = 126.5 × 10³ W ≈1.3×10⁵W

Thus, the correct option is B

Complete the following sentence: The term coherence relates to the phase relationship between two waves. the polarization state
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

<em>the phase relationship between two waves.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities between waves. It is an ideal property of waves that determines their interference. In a situation in which there is a correlation or phase relationship between two waves. If the properties of one of the waves can be measure directly, then, some of the properties of the other wave can be calculated.
