- What is the required diameter in meters of a cylindrical tank which has a length of 3 meters used for oil storage that will supply the engine for 5 days having a fuel consumption of 60Kg/hour at 27 degrees API? Please Answer # 9. If you can answer # 10 it will be appreciated much and rated high. Thanks!arrow_forwardAssume that you have been asked to look into purchasing some storage tanks for your company, and for the purchase of these tanks, you are given a budget of $1680. After some research, you find two tank manufacturers that meet your requirements. From Manufacturer A, you can purchase 16-m3-capacity tanks that cost $120 each. Moreover, the type of tank requires a floor space of 7.5 m2. Manufacturer B makes 24-m3-capacity tanks that cost $240 each and that require a floor space of 10 m2. The tanks will be placed in a section of a lab that has 90 m2 of floor space available for storage. You are looking for the greatest storage capacity within the budgetary and floor-space limitations. How many of each tank must you purchase?arrow_forwardJoe takes his little brother Andy down the the playground for an afternoon out.

After Joe moved the falcrum how long was the seesaw on Andy's side?arrow_forwardThe weight of a star is usually balanced by two forces: the gravitational force, acting inward, and the force created by nuclear reaction, acting outward. Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the gravitational collapse of the star and crushing atoms out of existence. Under such extreme conditions, protons and electrons are squeezed to form neutrons, giving birth to a neutron star. Neutron stars are massively heavy - a teaspoon of the substance of a neutron star would weigh 100 million metric tons on the Earth. a) Consider a neutron star whose mass is twice the mass of the Sun and whose radius is 13.3 km.

The density of the solid material used to create 10 pieces of 1.05 cm diameter and 1.31 cm height cylindrical beads is determined to be 1.53 g/mL. These beads were then placed in a flask and was filled to the 36 mL mark with a salt solution. The total weight measured of the beads and the salt solution was 47.86 g. Upon further inspection, it was found that manufacturing defects caused the measured porosity of the beads to be at 29%. Assuming that the solution was able to fully fill the empty spaces inside the beads, calculate the density of the salt solution.

Even the best athletes spend little more than 1.00 s in the air (their "hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. Part A To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2 (moving up from ymax /2 to ymax and then moving down to ymax/2) to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. Ignore air resistance. ΑΣφ. ?arrow_forward
