    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
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
