A rectangular tank with length 3 m, width 2 m, and height h m is full of a certain synthetic oil whose mass density is 1 3 kg/m3. If the work required to pump all of the oil to the top and out of the tank is 90 J, how tall is the tank (i. e., what is the value of h) ? Use 10 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.

    2.1 m

    Explanation:

    Work done = Weight of the liquid in the tank * height of tank

    Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

    Mass = density * volume

    Since the tank was full, the volume = 3 m * 2 m * h m = 6h m³

    Mass = 1/3 kg/m³ * 6h m³ = 2h kg

    Weight = 2h kg * 10 m/s² = 20h N

    Work = 20h N * h m = 90 J

    20h² = 90

    h² = 4.5 m²

    h = 2.1 m
