Step-by-step explanation:

The 6th term of an arithmetic progression is 35 and the 13th term is 77. find the 1st term

We know we have an arithmetic sequence.

a_n = (n - 1)*d + a_1

given:

a_6 = 35 = (6-1)*d + a_1

a_13 = (13 -1)*d + a_1 = 77

find a_1

we have 35 = 5d + a_1

and 77 = 12d + a_1

2 equations in 2 unknowns.

We can solve this.

77 = 12d + a_1

35 = 5d + a_1

minus the 2 equations from each other.

77 - 35 = 12d - 5d + a_1 - a_1

42 = 7d

d = 6

Find a_1

35 = 5*6 + a_1

35 = 30 + a_1

a_1 = 35 -30 = 5

a_1 = 5

Answer:

791.68 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume flow rate can be interpreted as the integral of fluid velocity over area

$\dot{V} = \int\limits^6_0 {v(r) 2\pi r} \, dr\\\dot{V} = 2\pi\int\limits^6_0 {(25-r^2)r} \, dr\\\dot{V} = 2\pi\int\limits^6_0 {25r-r^3} \, dr\\\\\dot{V} = 2\pi[12.5r^2 - r^4/4]_0^6\\\dot{V} = 2\pi(12.5*6^2 - 6^4/4 - 12.5*0 - 0)\\\dot{V} = 2\pi*126 = 791.68 cm/s$
