There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 12 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains

8 ft of oil and is drained at the rate of 0.25 ft/min. After how many minutes will the level of oil in the two tanks be the same?

Answer:

  16 minutes

Explanation:

This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.

The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."

Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...

  (4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min

The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.

You can write two equations for height:

  y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)

  y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . .  height in feet after x minutes (tank B)

These will be equal when ...

  y = y

  12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x

  4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8

  16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height

The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.

A steel bar 100 mm long and having a square cross section 20 mm x 20 mm is pulled in
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

222.5 Gpa

Explanation:

From definition of engineering stress, \sigma=\frac {F}{A}

where F is applied force and A is original area

Also, engineering strain, \epsilon=\frac {\triangle l}{l} where l is original area and \triangle l is elongation

We also know that Hooke's law states that E=\frac {\sigma}{\epsilon}=\frac {\frac {F}{A}}{\frac {\triangle l}{l}}=\frac {Fl}{A\triangle l}

Since A=20 mm* 20 mm= 0.02 m*0.02 m

F= 89000 N

l= 100 mm= 0.1 m

\triangle l= 0.1 mm= 0.1\times 10^{-3} m

By substitution we obtain

E=\frac {89000\times 0.1}{0.02^{2}\times 0.1\times 10^{-3}}=2.225\times 10^{11}= 225.5 Gpa

How many hours should I charge a 4.8v 600mah battery (I need it by today please)
prohojiy [21]

The number of hours that will be needed to charge a 600mah battery will be 1.5 hours.

<h3>What is a battery?</h3>

It should be noted that an electric battery simply means a source of electric power that consist of one or more electrochemical cells that are with external connections that are important for powering electrical devices.

It should be noted that when a battery is supplying power, then the positive terminal is the cathode while the negative terminal is the anode.

In conclusion, the number of hours that will be needed to charge a 600mah battery will be 1.5 hours.

In this exercise, you will write a Point structure that represents a space in two-dimensional space. This Point should have both
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Points to consider:

We need to take the input from the user

We need to find the manhatan distance and euclidian using the formula

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points

Manhattan:

|x_1 - x_2| + |y_1 - y_2|

Euclidian Distance:

\sqrt{(x1 - yl)^2 + (x2 - y2)^2)}

Code

#include<stdio.h>

#include<math.h>

struct Point{

  int x, y;

};

int manhattan(Point A, Point B){

  return abs(A.x - B.x) + abs(A.y- B.y);

}

float euclidean(Point A, Point B){

  return sqrt(pow(A.x - B.x, 2) + pow(A.y - B.y, 2));

}

int main(){

  struct Point A, B;

  printf("Enter x and Y for first point: ");

  int x, y;

  scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);

  A.x = x;

  A.y = y;

  printf("Enter x and Y for second point: ");

  scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);

  B.x = x;

  B.y = y;

  printf("Manhattan Distance: %d\n", manhattan(A, B));

  printf("Euclidian Distance: %f\n", euclidean(A, B));

 

}
