Are you talking about the displacment needed to lift 3000 pounds in water? The total displacment would need to equal the weight of the object AND the contianment vessel AND the entrapped air. Water weighs about 8 (fuel is 6) pounds per gallon. So you'd have to divide the total weight of all objects by 8 pounds to find the displacment. Recognize that you can also count the displacment of the object being lifted as part of the total displacment, so if the 3000 pound object displaces 100 gallons of water, that reduces the total additional displacent by 100 gallons.

Why is a centrifugal pumper equipped with a positive displacement pump in conjunction with the main pump?

Because the centrifugal pump cannot pump air due to its loose tolerances, the positive displacement pump is needed to create the vacuum.


What other measurement would be needed to find the work done for an object was moved 100 meters?

The force. Work=force x displacement Displacement=100m Work=? <----------------- if it's work your trying to find you need to force=? Know force and displacement. You know the Displacment, so force is missing.


What is needed to measure velocity of an object?

In order to measure velocity you need displacement (a start location and an end location) and time.
