Answer:

Work done = 35467.278 J

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the cone = 4m

radius (r) of the cone = 1.2m

Density of the cone = 600kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Now,

The total mass of the cone (m) = Density of the cone × volume of the cone

Volume of the cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h[/tex]

thus,

volume of the cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi 1.2^2\times 4[/tex] = 6.03 m³

therefore, the mass of the cone = 600 Kg/m³ × 6.03 m³ = 3619.11 kg

The center of mass for the cone lies at the [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]times the total height

thus,

center of mass lies at,  h' = [tex]\frac{1}{4}\times4=1m[/tex]

Now, the work gone (W) against gravity is given as:

W = mgh'

W = 3619.11kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1 = 35467.278 J

The work against gravity required to build a cone of height 4 m and base of radius 1.2 m out of a material of density 600 kg/m3 is 35,467.278 J.

Given to us

Height of the cone = 4m

The radius of the cone = 1.2 m

Density of the material = 600 kg/m³

We know that the work gone against the gravity is given as,

[tex]W = mgh'[/tex]

where W is the work, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h' is the center of mass.

Also, the mass of an object is the product of its volume and density, therefore,

[tex]m = v \times \rho[/tex]

We know the value of the volume of a cone,

[tex]m = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \times \rho[/tex]

The center of mass of a cone lies at the center of its base at 1/4 of the total height from the base,

[tex]h' = \dfrac{h}{4}[/tex]

Substitute all the values we will get,

[tex]W = mgh'\\\\W = (v \times \rho) g \times \dfrac{h}{4}\\\\W = (\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \times \rho) g \times \dfrac{h}{4}\\\\W = (\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (1.2)^2 \times4 \times 600) \times 9.81 \times \dfrac{4}{4}\\\\W = 35467.278\rm\ J[/tex]

Hence, the work against gravity required to build the right circular cone of height 4 m and base of radius 1.2 m out of a lightweight material of density 600 kg/m3 is 35,467.278 J.
