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.

Applications of fleming hand rule
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Fleming hand rule represents the direction of current in a generator's windings and induced current as a conductor is attached to a circuit such that it moves in a magnetic field.

Explanation:

Fleming hand rule represents the direction of current in a generator's windings and induced current as a conductor is attached to a circuit such that it moves in a magnetic field.

Fleming hand rule is used in the case of electric motors and electric generators.

Fleming hand rule is used to determine the following:

1. Direction of torque

2. Angular velocity

3. Angular acceleration

2. A F-22 Raptor has just climbed through an altitude of 9,874 m at 1,567 kph when a disk
BabaBlast [244]

The pressure difference across the sensor housing will be "95 kPa".

According to the question, the values are:

Altitude,

  • 9874

Speed,

  • 1567 kph

Pressure,

  • 122 kPa

The temperature will be:

→ T = 15.04-[0.00649(9874)]

→     = 15.04-64.082

→     = -49.042^{\circ} C

now,

→ P_o = 101.29[\frac{(-49.042+273.1)}{288.08} ]^{(5.256)}

→      = 27.074

hence,

→ The pressure differential will be:

= 122-27

= 95 \ kPa

Thus the above solution is correct.
