A fuel oil tank is an upright cylinder, buried so that its circular top 12 feet beneath ground level. The tank has a radius of 6 feet and is 18 feet high, although the current oil level is only 13 feet deep. Calculate the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface. Oil weighs 50 lb/ft^3.

Well, well, well, looks like we have ourselves a pumping puzzle here. Time to crunch some numbers and bring out the clown calculator!

First, let's find out the volume of the oil in the tank. Since it's a cylinder, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h.

Plugging in the values, we get V = π * 6^2 * 13 = 468π cubic feet.

Now, let's convert that to pounds using the weight of oil which is 50 lb/ft^3. So, the weight of the oil in the tank is 468π * 50 lb.

To find the work required to pump all that oil up, we need to multiply that weight by the distance it's being moved vertically, which is 12 feet.

Therefore, the work required is 12 * 468π * 50 lb feet.

Now, I'm not a fan of getting all technical, so let's do some clown calculations to approximate the answer.

Approximately, depending on the value of π you choose, we have around 18,662 lb feet.

But hey, I must warn you, my calculations might contain trace amounts of laughter. So, please, consult a professional for an exact answer.

To calculate the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface, we need to calculate the volume of oil in the tank and then multiply it by the weight of the oil.

First, let's calculate the volume of the tank:

The tank is an upright cylinder, so its volume formula is:

V = πr^2h

where:
V is the volume,
π is a mathematical constant (approximately equal to 3.14159),
r is the radius of the tank, and
h is the height of the tank.

Given:
r = 6 feet (radius)
h = 13 feet (oil level)

V = π(6^2)(13) = 468π ft^3

Next, let's calculate the weight of the oil in the tank:

To calculate the weight, we multiply the volume by the weight per cubic foot of the oil.

Given:
Oil weighs 50 lb/ft^3

Weight of oil = V x Weight per cubic foot
Weight of oil = 468π ft^3 x 50 lb/ft^3 = 23400π lb

Now, let's calculate the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface:

The work (W) required to lift an object is given by the formula:

W = Weight x Height

In this case, the weight is 23400π lb and the height is 12 feet (since the circular top is 12 feet beneath the ground level).

W = 23400π lb x 12 ft = 280800π ft-lb (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface is approximately 280800π ft-lb.

To calculate the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface, we need to determine the volume of the oil in the tank and then multiply it by the weight of the oil.

First, let's calculate the volume of the oil in the tank:

The tank is in the shape of an upright cylinder, so the volume of the oil can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h.

Given:
Radius (r) = 6 feet
Height (h) = 13 feet

V = π(6^2)(13)
V = 468π cubic feet

Next, let's calculate the weight of the oil:

Given:
Weight of oil = 50 lb/ft^3
Volume of oil (V) = 468π cubic feet

Weight of oil = 50 lb/ft^3 * 468π ft^3
Weight of oil = 23400π lb

Now that we have the weight of the oil, we can calculate the work required to pump all of it to the surface. The work (W) can be calculated using the formula: W = force x distance.

In this case, the force is the weight of the oil (23400π lb) and the distance is the distance the oil needs to be lifted, which is the height of the tank minus the current oil level (18 - 13 = 5 feet).

W = 23400π lb * 5 feet
W ≈ 117000π ft-lb (rounded to the nearest foot-pound)

Therefore, the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface is approximately 117000π foot-pounds.

the center of mass of the oil is 12+5+6.5 = 23.5 feet below the surface

The weight of oil is 50*π*6^2*13 = 23400π lbs

work = force*distance = 23400π*23.5 ft-lbs
