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

Rhythms that occur faster and slower than the beat are b.<span>not synchronized with the time signature. The synchronization follows the same beat or rhythm. If the time signature say is lower than the original, then the rhythm should be faster. Otherwise, the rhythm is slower than the original one.</span>

Explain a police role, and how important it is. also you can explain a mayor's role and how important it is...

A police's role in the community is to protect us and make sure that everyone is following the rules. it is important for a police to be there so we can be safe. Their status is fair enough. Another Example is a mayor. a mayor's job is to improve the city/ the community. His status is high. There are many people around us that help us, each with a different status.

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average speed of 3 m/s at a rate of 550 m3/s at a location 58 m above the lake surf
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1. 0.574 kJ/kg

2. 315.7 MW

Explanation:

1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:

E_{m} = E_{k} + E_{p}

E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}v^{2} + gh

Where:

Ek is the kinetic energy

Ep is the potential energy

v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s

g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h is the height = 58 m

E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}(3 m/s)^{2} + 9.81 m/s^{2}*58 m = 0.574 kJ/Kg

Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.

2. The power generation potential on the river is:

P = m(t)E_{m} = \rho*V(t)*E_{m} = 1000 kg/m^{3}*550 m^{3}/s*0.574 kJ/kg = 315.7 MW

Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.

I hope it helps you!
