Atank is full of oil weighing 30 lb/ft3. the tank is a right rectangular prism with a width of 2 feet, a depth of 2 feet, and a height of 3 feet. find the work required to pump the water to a height of 2 feet above the top of the tank

the work will be W= 17373.96 lb*ft²/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Neglecting the frictional losses in the pipe and the pump efficiency, then assuming a reversible process the work W will be

W= ∫pdV

from an energy balance (see note below), and assuming constant density of the oil, the pressures at pump output and pump input will be

P final = p₀ + ρ*g*h = p₀ + ρ*g*h + 1/2ρ*v²

P initial =  p₀ + 1/2ρ*v²

where

p₀= pressure at the surface

ρ= density

g= gravity

h= height of the oil level

the volume of pumped oil will be

V= A*h

dV=A*dh

then the pressure the pump has to work against is:

p= Pfinal- Pinitial = ρ*g*h

therefore

W=∫pdV = A∫ρ*g*h*dh = A*ρ*g*H²/2 = ρ*g*V*H/2

replacing values

V= 2 ft* 2 ft * 3 ft = 12 ft³

W= ρ*g*V*H/2= 30 lb/ft³* 32.174 ft/s²* 12 ft³ * 3 ft/2 = 17373.96 lb*ft²/s²

W= 17373.96 lb*ft²/s²

Note

- from mass conservation at the bottom of the tank and pump output

Apipe*vpipe = Apump*vpump

assuming that the discharge pipe has the same pipe diameter then Apump= Apipe → vpipe= vpump=v

- the final work is the average of the work for a completely charged tank and with almost any oil (H=0)  ( assuming no suction of air/vapor with low oil levels)

15% chance.

step-by-step explanation:

3/10 times, the 5 year old will get a tablet. 5/10 times, the 13 yer old will get a tablet. multiply both fractions to get 15/100 times, both would have a tablet.
