Homework Statement
1)a water tank has a rectangle base of area 5m x 4 m and is 3 m deep. if it is full of water, calculate the thrust on the base and on each side.
2)a model helicopter of mass 5 kg rises with constant acceleration from rest to a height of 60 m in 10 s. find the thrust exerted by the rotor blades during the ascent.
Homework Equations
1)density= mass/ volume
pressure = force / area
2) s= (u+v)/t
v= ut + 1/2 at^2
The Attempt at a Solution
1) weight of water when it is full = 1000 x (3 x4 x 5) = 60000 x 10 = 600000N
upthrust = P= F/A
on sides = 600000/12 = 50000N
base= 600000/ 20 = 30000 N [ ans : 5.9 x 10 ^5, 1.8 x 10 ^5, 2.2 x 10^5 N]
2) thrust force - weight = ma
60=v/2 (10)^2
v= 12 m/s
12= 1/2 (10)^2 a
a= 0.24 m/s^2
thrust force = 5 x 0.24 + 50 = 51.2 N [ans: 55]
