In 41 s, a pump delivers 0.628 dm3 of oil into barrels on a platform 35 m above the pump intake pipe. Calculate the work done by the pump. The density of the oil is 0.776 g/cm3 . and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of kJ.

Answer:

0.167 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of oil delivered by the pump (V) = 0.628 dm³ = 628 cm³     [1 dm³ = 1000 cm³]

Density of the oil (d) = 0.776 g/cm³

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time for which pump runs (t) = 41 s

Height to which oil is raised (h) = 35 m

Now, we know that, mass of a body is equal to the product of its volume and density. Therefore,

mass of oil (m) = volume × density

[tex]m=628\ cm^3\times 0.776\ g/cm^3\\\\m=487.328\ g=0.487\ kg\ \ \ \ \ \ \ [1\ g=0.001\ kg][/tex]

Now, work done by the pump is equal to the increase in the potential energy of the oil being raised to the given height.

Increase in potential energy is given as:

[tex]\Delta U=mgh[/tex]

Therefore, the work done by the pump is given as:

Work done = ΔU

[tex]W=mgh\\\\W=(0.487\ kg)\times (9.8\ m/s^2)\times (35\ m)\\\\W=167.04\ J[/tex]

Now, 1 J = 0.001 kJ

Therefore, 167.04 J = 167.04 × 0.001 = 0.167 kJ

Hence, work done by the pump in kilojoules is 0.167 kJ
