    Tank Water Work
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the work required to pump water out of a hemispherical tank with a radius of 2 inches, filled to a depth of 1 inch. The initial calculations involve integrating the volume and force, but there is confusion regarding the limits of integration. Participants clarify that the height should be measured from the center of the bowl, leading to the correct limits for integration. The correct approach involves adjusting the distance to account for the changing water level as it is pumped out. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately defining reference points in integration for this type of problem.

a bowl shaped tank is in the shaoe of a hemisphere with a radius of 2 in. If the bowl is filled with water density rho to a depth of 1 in, find the work in pumping the water out fo the tank



W=FD

V=integral of surface area * height

F= rho *V
V is the integral of pi(r-x)^2 from 0-1
D=2-x

so W=rho*V int 2-x from 0-1

i get 7pi rho g/2 and the answer is suppose to be 9 rho pi/4

im not sure where i am going rong but i thing it has to do with my integration

we haven't done parametrics yet

dV = π*r^2*dh.

r^2 = R^2 - h^2.

Hence V = π*Int[R^2 - h^2]*dh from h = 1 to h = 2.

Now proceed.

I think the answer is wrong.
 


Why are your limits from 1-2 its only filled half way shouldn't it be 0-1 if your point of reference is from the bottm

While emptying the bowl, water level changes from 1 to 2, where h is measured from the center. When you write down the relation between R and h, h is measured from the center top surface of the bowl.
 


ah ok i was doing it from the bottom so the distance is 1 + x now right
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
