A tank is is half full of oil that has a density of 900 kg/m3. Find the work W required to pump the oil out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Assume r = 15 m and h = 5 m.) W = 1.59 J

3.9 × 10^7 J

Explanation:

Given that a tank is is half full of oil that has a density of 900 kg/m3. Find the work W required to pump the oil out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Assume r = 15 m and h = 5 m.) W = 1.59 J

Solution

Since the tank is half full, the height = 2.5m

Pressure = density × gravity × height

Pressure = 900 × 9.8 × 2.5

Pressure = 22050 Pascal

The cross sectional area of the pump will be area of a circle.

A = πr^2

A = π × 15^2

A = 706.858 m^2

Using the formula

Density = mass/volume

Mass = density × volume

Mass = 900 × 706.86 × 2.5

Mass = 1590.435

Energy = mgh

Energy = 1590.435 × 9.8 × 2.5

Energy = 38965657.8 J

Since the work done = energy

Therefore, the work done = 3.9 × 10^7 J
