A trough is 10 feet long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 3 feet across at the top and 1 foot high. I

f the trough is filled with water at a rate of 12 feet cubed per minute, how fast is the water level rising when the trough is half a foot deep?

Answer:

1.6 ft/min

Explanation:

Since trough is 10 ft long and water is filled at the rate of 12ft3/min. We can calculate the rate of water filled with respect to area:

= 12 / 10 = 1.2ft2/min

As the water level rises, so does the water surface, or the bottom side of the isosceles triangles. In fact we can calculate the bottom side when the trough is half foot deep:

= 3 / 2 = 1.5 ft

The rate of change in water level would be the same as calculating the height of the isosceles triangles knowing its base

= 1.2 * 2 / 1.5 = 1.6 ft/min

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure
Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

  • the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0

where R_1,R_2 are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

  • the net vertical force acting on the beam is

R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0

where m=1300\,\rm kg and g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}.

Eliminating R_2, we have

\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)

R_1 \bigg(\sin(60^\circ) \cos(110^\circ) - \cos(60^\circ) \sin(110^\circ)\bigg) = -\dfrac{mg}2

R_1 \sin(60^\circ - 110^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2

-R_1 \sin(50^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2

R_1 = \dfrac{mg}{2\sin(50^\circ)} \approx \boxed{8300\,\rm N}

Solve for R_2.

\dfrac{mg\cos(110^\circ)}{2\sin(50^\circ)} + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0

\dfrac{R_2}2 = -mg\cot(110^\circ)

R_2 = -2mg\cot(110^\circ) \approx \boxed{9300\,\rm N}
