a) We have to calculate the height of the pad.

We know that the volume will be 4704 cubic feet.

We also know that the base of the pad is a square of side length 56 feet.

As the volume is the area of the base times the height, we can find the height by dividing the volume by the base area:

\begin{gathered} V=A_b\cdot h \\ h=\frac{V}{A_b}=\frac{4704\text{ ft}^3}{(56\text{ ft})^2}=\frac{4704}{3136}\text{ ft}=1.5\text{ ft} \end{gathered}

The height is 1.5 feet.

b) Now, we have a circular pad of which we know the height (1.5 feet) and the volume (4705 ft³). The area of the base will have to be the same as the are of the square: 3136 ft².

The area of this circular pad can be expressed as πD²/4, so we can calculate the diameter D as:

\begin{gathered} A=3136 \\ \frac{\pi D^2}{4} \\ D^2=3136*\frac{4}{\pi} \\ D^2=3136*\frac{4}{3.14} \\ D^2=3994.9045 \\ D=\sqrt{3994.9045} \\ D\approx63.21 \end{gathered}

The diameter is approximately 63.21 feet.

Answer:

a) The pad will be 1.5 feet thick

b) The diameter will be 63.21 feet.

At a sand and gravel plant, sand is falling off a conveyor and onto a conical pile at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. The di
lawyer [7]

Answer:

0.0063 ft / min

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement we have that the variation in volume with respect to time is equal 10, like this:

dV / dt = 10 ft ^ 3 / min

We know that the volume of the cone is given by the equation:

V = (1/3) * Pi * r ^ 2 * h

Now, we are mentioned that the diameter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude, therefore:

2r = 3h, solving for r we have:

r = (3/2) * h, replacing the volume equation:

V = (1/3) * Pi * [(3h / 2) ^ 2] * h, solving we have:

V = (3/4) * Pi * h ^ 3

They ask us to calculate the change in height with respect to time, that is dh / dt

Therefore we derive both sides with respect to time, we have to:

dV / dt = (3/4) * Pi [3 * (h ^ 2) dh / dt] = (9/4) * pi * (h ^ 2) * dh / dt

reorganizing for dh / dt, we have:

dh / dt = [4/9 * pi * (h ^ 2)] * dV / dt

Knowing that h is 15 and dV / dt is 10, we replace these values:

dh / dt = [4/9 * 3.14 * (15 ^ 2)] * 10 = 0.0063 ft / min

0.0063 ft / min would be the change in height with respect to time.
