A bucket that weighs 3 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 90 ft deep. The bucket is f

illed with 36 lb of water and is pulled up at a rate of 2.5 ft/s but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of .25 lb/s. Find the work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well?
A. Show how to approximate the required work by a Riemann sum (let x be the height in feet above the bottom of the well. Enter xi∗as xi)

Answer:

a) Lim(0-inf)  Work = (36 - 0.1*xi )*dx

b) Work = integral( (36 - 0.1*xi ) ).dx

c) Work = 2835 lb-ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The weight of the bucket W = 3 lb

- The depth of the well d = 90 ft

- Rate of pull = 2.5 ft/s

- water flow out at a rate of = 0.25 lb/s

Find:

A. Show how to approximate the required work by a Riemann sum (let x be the height in feet above the bottom of the well. Enter xi∗as xi)

B. Express the Integral

C. Evaluate the integral

Solution:

A.

- At time t the bucket is xi = 2.5*t ft above its original depth of 90 ft but now it hold only (36 - 0.25*t) lb of water at an instantaneous time t.

- In terms of distance the bucket holds:

                           ( 36 - 0.25*(xi/2.5)) = (36 - 0.1*xi )

- Moving this constant amount of water through distance dx, we have:

                            Work = (36 - 0.1*xi )*dx

B.

The integral for the work done is:

                           Work = integral( (36 - 0.1*xi ) ).dx

Where the limits are 0 < x < 90.

C.

- Evaluate the integral as follows:

                           Work = (36xi - 0.05*xi^2 )

- Evaluate limits:

                           Work = (36*90 - 0.05*90^2 )  

                            Work = 2835 lb-ft

Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies. How many cups will Sam use to make five batches. Write your answer in two ways. Impro
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Improper fraction = 10/3 cups

Mixed fraction = 3 1/3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies

Rate = 2/3 cup per batch

To make 5 batches, he would need;

Amount = number of batches × rate per batch

Amount = 5 batches × 2/3 cups per batch

Amount of sugar he would need = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups

The greater of two consecutive EVEN numbers is 40 less than twice the smaller number. Find the larger number
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

<h3>           44</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  some integer

2z - first given even integer (the smaller one)

2z+2 - even integer consecutive to 2z  (the larger one)

2(2z)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40    - the number 40 less than twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40 = 2z + 2

4z - 40 = 2z + 2

2z = 42

 

2z+2 = 42+2 = 44

check:

2(2z)-40 = 2(42)-40 = 84-40 = 44

Kristin charges $30 to train a small dog, and $50 to train a big dog. If Kristin trains 15 small dogs and 6 big dogs, how much m
tangare [24]

Answer:

$750

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up the equation 30x + 50y =  z where x = the amount of small dogs, y = the amount of big dogs, and z = the total.

After plugging in the x and y values to solve for z, we are left with the following equation:

30(15) + 50(6) = 750
