A rain gutter is to be constructed from a metal sheet of width 30 cm by bending up one-third of the sheet on each side through a

n angle θ . How should θ be chosen so that the gutter will carry the maximum amount of water?

Answer:

60

Explanation:

The volume of the water carried will be proportional to the cross-sectional area. The cross-section is a trapezoid with height 10sint, where t represents theta. The top of the trapezoid is 10+(2)(10cost), i.e. 10 + 20cost. The base of the trapezoid is 10.

Area of trapezoid = (average of bases) times (height)

= ([10 + (10 +20cost)] / 2 ) 10 sint

= (10 + 10cost)(10sint)

= 100sint + 100sintcost, call this A(t). You need to maximize. So differentiate and set equal to zero.

dA/dt = -100sin(t)^2+100cos(t)+100cos(t)^2 = 0, divide by 100:

-sin(t)^2 + cos(t) + cos(t)^2 = 0, replace sin^2 by 1-cos^2

2cos(t)^2 + cos(t) - 1 = 0, factor

(1+cos(t))(2cos(t)-1)=0, so  

cos(t)=1, t=0 that give a min (zero area) not a max, or

cos(t) = 1/2, so t=60 degrees. This gives the max.

A heat pump with a COP of 3.15 is used to heat an air-tight house. When running, the heat pump consumes 5 kW of power. If the te

Answer: 1026s, 17.1m

Explanation:

Given

COP of heat pump = 3.15

Mass of air, m = 1500kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 7°C

Final temperature, T2 = 22°C

Power of the heat pump, W = 5kW

The amount of heat needed to increase temperature in the house,

Q = mcΔT

Q = 1500 * 0.718 * (22 - 7)

Q = 1077 * 15

Q = 16155

Rate at which heat is supplied to the house is

Q' = COP * W

Q' = 3.15 * 5

Q' = 15.75

Time required to raise the temperature is

Δt = Q/Q'

Δt = 16155 / 15.75

Δt = 1025.7 s

Δt ~ 1026 s

Δt ~ 17.1 min
