Tutorial Exercise A rectangular box which is open at the top can be made from an 24-by-30-inch piece of metal by cutting a square from each corner and bending up the sides. Find the dimensions of the box with greatest volume, where h = height, l = length, and w = width. (Note: let the width be determined by the 24-inch side and the length by the 30-inch side.)

Answer:

The maximum volume is 1417.87 inch^3

Explanation:

<u>Optimization Using Derivatives</u>

We have a 24x30 inch piece of metal and we need to make a rectangular box by cutting a square from each corner of the piece and bending up the sides. The width of the piece is 24 inches and its length is 30 inches

When we cut a square of each corner of side x, the base of the box (after bending up the sides) will be (24-2x) and (30-2x), width and length respectively. The volume of the box is

V=(24-2x)(30-2x)x

Operating

V=4x^3-108x^2+720x

To find the maximum value of V, we compute the first derivative and equate it to zero

V'=12x^2-216x+720=0

Simplifying by 12

x^2-18x+60=0

Completing squares

x^2-18x+81-81+60=0

(x-9)^2=21

We have two values for x

x=9+\sqrt{21}=13.58\ inch

x=9-\sqrt{21}=4.42\ inch

The first value is not feasible because it will produce a negative width (24-2(13.58))=-6.16

We'll keep only the solution

x=4.42\ inch

The width is

w=(24-2(4.42))=15.16\ inch

The length is

l=(30-2(4.42))=21.16\ inch

And the height

x=4.42\ inch

The maximum volume is

V=(15.16)(21.16)(4.42)=1417.87\ inch^3

A ball is thrown straight up from ground level. It passes a 2-m-high window. The bottom of the window is 7.5 m off the ground. T
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

u=14.48m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of window h=2m

Height of window off the ground h_g=7.5m

Time to fall and drop t=1.3s

 

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

2=u1.3-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*1.3^2

2=u1.3-8.281

u=7.91m/s^2  

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

2as=v^2-u^2

Where

-2gh_g=v^2-u^2

-2*9.8*7.5=(7.91)^2-u^2

-147=62.5681-u^2

u=\sqrt{209.5681}

u=14.48m/s

Therefore the  ball’s initial speed

u=14.48m/s

how much power is needed to lift a box with a force of 780 newtons over a distance of 2 meters in 45 seconds
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

<h2>34.67 W</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done and can be found by using the formula

p =  \frac{w}{t}  \\

p is the power in Watts (W)

w is the workdone in joules

t is time in s

but workdone = force × distance

From the question

force = 780 N

distance = 2 m

workdone = 780 × 2 = 1560 N

Since we now have the value of workdone we can find the power

We have

p =  \frac{1560}{45}  = 34.6666666... \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>34.67 W</h3>

To answer this problem first is to analyze and understand the problem first and then consider the given and also the gravity that is exert in the ball. Base on my calculation and the use of the formulas the answer are the following:
A. The initial velocity is <span>29.43 m/s
b. The height it reaches is 132.435m</span>
