Un tanque elevado tiene una capacidad de [tex]8 \, \text{m}^3[/tex]. Si en este tanque se almacena agua potable a una altura de [tex]15 \, \text{metros}[/tex], ¿cuál es la energía potencial del agua contenida en este tanque si se encuentra completamente lleno?



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

The gravitational potential energy of water in the tank can be calculated using the mass, gravity, and height of the water stored in the tank.


Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of water stored in the tank can be calculated using the formula:

E = mgh

Where:

  • m is the mass of water stored (density x volume)
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
  • h is the height of water stored in the tank (15 meters)

Given that the tank capacity is 8 m³, the mass of water will be 8,000 kg. Plugging in the values, we get the gravitational potential energy of the water in the tank when full.
