Say we have a cylinder that has a height of dx, we see that the cylinder has a volume of:

Vcylinder = πr^2*h = π(5)^2(dx) = 25π dx

Then, the weight of oil in this cylinder is:

Fcylinder = 50 * Vcylinder = (50)(25π dx) = 1250π dx.

Then, since the oil x feet from the top of the tank needs to travel x feet to get the top, we have:

Wcylinder = Force x Distance = (1250π dx)(x) = 1250π x dx.

Integrating from x1 to x2 ft gives the total work to be: (x1 = distance from top liquid level to ground level; x2 = distance from bottom liquid level to ground level)

W = ∫ 1250π x dx
W = 1250π ∫ x dx
W = 625π * (x2 – x1)

x2 = 14 ft + 15 ft = 29 ft

x1 = 14 ft + 1 ft = 15 ft

W = 625π * (29^2 - 15^2)
W = 385,000π ft-lbs = 1,209,513.17 ft-lbs

Answer from: munziruddin204

The work required to pump all of the oil to the surface is of 1209513.17 ft-lbs.

Given data:

The height of circular top from the ground is, h = 14 feet.

The height of tank is, H = 15 feet.

The radius of tank is, r = 5 feet.

The level of oil inside the tank is, h' = 14 feet.

The density of oil is, $\rho = 50 \;\rm lb/ft^{3}$ .

Let us consider a cylinder that has a height of dx, then the cylinder has a volume of:

$V = \pi r^{2}dx\\\\V = \pi \times 5^{2}dx\\\\V =25 \pi dx$

The, the weight of oil (w) is calculated as,

$w= \rho \times V\\\\w= 50 \times (25\pi dx)\\\\w = 1250 \pi \;dx$

Then, since the oil x feet from the top of the tank needs to travel x feet to get the top, we have:

$W = w \times x\\\\W = (1250 \pi \;dx) \times x\\\\W = 1250 \pi x\;dx$

Now, Integrating from X' to X" ft gives the total work done. Where,

X' = distance from top liquid level to ground level ( X' = H = 15 feet)

X" = distance from bottom liquid level to ground level ( X" = H +h = 15 +14 = 29 feet)

$W = \int \limits^{X"}_{X'} { 1250 \pi x} \, dx\\\\W = 1250 \pi \times \dfrac{X"^{2}-X'^{2}}{2} \\\\W = 1250 \pi \times \dfrac{29^{2}-15^{2}}{2}\\\\W = 1250 \pi \times \dfrac{29^{2}-15^{2}}{2}\\\\W = 1209513.17 \;\rm ft-lbs$

Thus, we can conclude that the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface is of 1209513.17 ft-lbs.

An charge with mass m and charge q is emitted from the origin, (x, y)=(0,0). a large, flat screen is located at x=l. there is a target on the screen at y position y(h), where y(h) > 0. in this problem, you will examine two different ways that the charge might hit the target. ignore gravity in this problem. 1.assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive x direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive y direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l. 2.now assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive y direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive x direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l.
