find the work done by a person pushing a 40 pound box up an incline that is 30 degrees above the horizontal and 100 feet long (i

gnore friction forces etc.- also remember Work is the inner product of Force and direction vectors. Furthermore remember gravity is a force acting in the downward direction)

The work done in pushing the box is 64000 lb-ft²/s²

<h3>How to calculate the work done by the person?</h3>

Since person pushing a 40 pound box up an incline that is 30 degrees above the horizontal and 100 feet long, the work done, W is

W = mgh where

  • m = mass of box = 40 lb,
  • g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s² and
  • h = height of incline = LsinФ where
  • L = length of incline = 100 ft and
  • Ф = angle of incline = 30°

So, W = mgh

W = mgLsinФ

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = mgLsinФ

W = 40 lb × 32 ft/s² × 100 ftsin30°

W = 1280 lb-ft/s² × 100 ft × 0.5

W = 1280 lb-ft/s² × 50 ft

W = 64000 lb-ft²/s²

So, the work done in pushing the box is 64000 lb-ft²/s²

The chemistry class was making 300 gallons of 30% isopropyl alcohol. They mixed 12% with 42%. How much of each did they use?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

<u>The chemistry class mixed 120 gallons of 12% isopropyl alcohol and 180 gallons of 42% isopropyl alcohol.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount of isopropyl alcohol made by the chemistry class = 300 of 30%

Amount of 12% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = x

Amount of 42% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = 300 - x

2. How much of each did they use?

Let's write our equation to solve for x, this way:

30% = 0.3, 12% = 0.12, 42% = 0.42

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12x + 126 - 0.42x = 90

-0.3x = 90 - 126

-0.3x = -36

x = -36/-0.3

<u>x = 120 ⇒ 300 - x = 180</u>

<u>Let's prove x = 120 is correct</u>

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12 * 120 + 0.42 (300 - 120) = 0.3 * 300

14.4 + 75.6 = 90

90 = 90

<u>We proved x = 120 is correct</u>
