A full water tank in the shape of an inverted right circular cone is 8 m across the top and 4 m high. How much work is required to pump all the water over the top of the tank? (The density of water is
1000 kg/m3. Assume g = 9.8 m/s2 .)
Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at 5.0 m/s through a hose of radius 1.0 cm, passing through a window 3.0 m above the waterline.What is the pump’s power?
Suppose a 20,000 kg jet lands on the surface of an aircraft carrier. As it lands, it engages a tailhook wire, a wire which behaves as if it were connected to a spring with a spring constant of Ks = 25,000 J/m2. This slows the jet down to rest within 60 m. What was the jet's landing speed? (Actual tail hooks use hydraulics instead of a spring to absorb the just energy, but let's pretend).
