Emptying a tank A vertical right-circular cylindrical tank measures 30 ft high and 20 ft in diameter. It is full of kerosene weighing 51.2 lb>ft3 . How much work does it take to pump the kerosene to the level of the top of the tank

Respuesta :

Hence, 1.64x[tex]10^{7}[/tex] lbft work it takes to pump the kerosene to the level 4 ft above the top of the tank.

Given, that the height of the cylinder = 30 ft, the diameter of the cylinder = 20 ft and the weight of the kerosene = 51.2 lb/ft³

Radius of the cylinder = d/2=20/2=10 ft

We need to calculate how much work it takes to pump the kerosene to the level of the top of the tank.

We know that the volume of the cylinder = V = πr²h

⇒V= 3.14×10²×30 ft³

⇒V=9424.8 ft³

Weight of kerosene=51.2 Ib/ft³×9424.8 ft³ = 482548.6 lb

Work done to pump kerosene 4ft above the cylinder

= weight×height=482548.6×(30+4)ft=1.64x[tex]10^{7}[/tex] lbft

Hence, 1.64x[tex]10^{7}[/tex] lbft work it takes to pump the kerosene to the level 4 ft above the top of the tank.
