Answer:

Therefore the work done is 640 ft pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a heavy rope 40 ft long, weighs 0.8 lb/ft.

Force = weight.

Let we pull x ft. Then the remain rope = (40-x)ft.

(40-x) ft it is variable.

The weight of (40-x) ft is =(40-x)0.8 lb

∴ Force =(40-x)0.8 lb

Work done = Force × displacement

                  = (40-x)0.8 Δx   [ displacement = Δx]

Therefore ΔW =(40-x)0.8 Δx

Since total rope is pulling up on the top of the building. Total displacement = 40 ft.

Total work done =\int_0^{40}(40-x)0.8 dx

                            =[32x-\frac{0.8x^2}{2}]_0^{40}

                            =[(32\times 40)-0.4(40)^2]

                            =640 ft pound.

Therefore the work done is 640 ft pound.

A- It will be smaller, because we're finding a part of a number, and it's no more than 100 percent.
B- It would be greater. It's more than 100 percent, which accounts for the whole value, and goes even more.
Hope this helps!
