Answer:
work done in pumping the entire fuel is 1399761 J
Explanation:
weight per volume of the gasoline = 6600 N/m^3
diameter of the tank = 3 m
length of the tank = 6 m
The height of the tractor tank above the top of the tank = 5 m
The total volume of the fuel is gotten below
we know that the tank is cylindrical.
we assume that the fuel completely fills the tank.
therefore, the volume of a cylinder =
where r = radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 3/2 = 1.5 m
volume of the cylinder = 3.142 x x 6 = 42.417 m^3
we then proceed to find the total weight of the fuel in Newton
total weight = (weight per volume) x volume
total weight = 6600 x 42.417 = 279952.2 N
therefore,
the work done to pump the fuel through to the 5 m height = (total weight of the fuel) x (height through which the fuel is pumped)
work done in pumping = 279952.2 x 5 = 1399761 J
