Answer: The correct answer is 8120 foot-pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression of work done in terms of mass and height is as follows;

W= mgh

Here, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

It is given in the problem that the work is done in lifting a 290-pound weight 28 feet in the air. Here, the work done is equal to the potential energy.

Calculate the work done.

W= mgh

Put mg=290-pound and h= 28 feet.

W= (290)(28)

W= 8120 foot-pound

Therefore, the work done is 8120 foot-pound.

The work may be calcualted as the differential of potencial energy or as the product of the force x the distance. The result is the same.

T = weight x height

T = 290 pound * 28 feet = 8120 foot-pound

What is 6 1/3 - 4 2/3 = ?

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

3 1/4 + 2 1/3 = 67 / 12 = 57 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 3 1/4 = 3 · 4 + 1

= 13

Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 2 1/3 = 2 · 3 + 1

= 7

Add: 13

+ 7

= 13 · 3

4 · 3

+ 7 · 4

3 · 4

= 39

+ 28

= 39 + 28

= 67

If sinA+cosecA=3 find the value of sin2A+cosec2A

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$\sin 2A + \csc 2A = 2.122$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $f(A) = \sin A + \csc A$ , we proceed to transform the expression into an equivalent form of sines and cosines by means of the following trigonometrical identity:

$\csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A}$ (1)

$\sin^{2}A +\cos^{2}A = 1$ (2)

Now we perform the operations: $f(A) = 3$

$\sin A + \csc A = 3$

$\sin A + \frac{1}{\sin A} = 3$

$\sin ^{2}A + 1 = 3\cdot \sin A$

$\sin^{2}A -3\cdot \sin A +1 = 0$ (3)

By the quadratic formula, we find the following solutions:

$\sin A_{1} \approx 2.618$ and $\sin A_{2} \approx 0.382$

Since sine is a bounded function between -1 and 1, the only solution that is mathematically reasonable is:

$\sin A \approx 0.382$

By means of inverse trigonometrical function, we get the value associate of the function in sexagesimal degrees:

$A \approx 22.457^{\circ}$

Then, the values of the cosine associated with that angle is:

$\cos A \approx 0.924$

Now, we have that $f(A) = \sin 2A +\csc2A$ , we proceed to transform the expression into an equivalent form with sines and cosines. The following trignometrical identities are used:
