An uncovered swimming pool loses 1.0 inch of water off its 1,000 ft^2 surface each week due to evaporation. The heat of vaporiza

tion for water at the pool temperature is 1050 btu/lb. The cost of energy to heat the pool is $10.00 per million btu. A salesman claims that a S500 pool cover that reduces evaporation losses by two-thirds will pay for itself in one 15-week swimming season. Can it be true?

Answer:

The affirmation is true, the cover will be worth buying

Explanation:

The equation necessary to use is

E = m*cv,

Where

cv: the heat of vaporization.

Finding the rate at which the water evaporates (m^3/week).

The swimming pool loses water at 1 inch/week off its 1,000 ft^2

Than,

1000 ft² * 1 in/wk * 1 ft/12 in = 83.33 ft³/week

To obtains the rate of mass loss it is necessary to multiply it for the density of water

83.33 ft³/week * 62.4 lb/ft³ = 5200 lb/week

Knowing the vaporization heat it is possible to find the rate of heat which is leaving the swimming pool

5200 lb/week * 1050 BTU/lb = 5460000 btu/week

Over a 15-week period, the pool loses 81.9 million BTU.

Knowing the cost of energy to heat the pool is $10.00 per million btu

The price = $819

This way, the affirmation is true, the cover will be worth buying

Marianna [84]

Answer:

-⅓ cos³ x + C

Explanation:

∫ cos² x sin x dx

If u = cos x, then du = -sin dx.

∫ -u² du

Integrate using power rule:

-⅓ u³ + C

Substitute back:

-⅓ cos³ x + C

Answer:

Following are the proving to this question:

Explanation:

$\frac{D_1}{D} = \frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))^{\frac{1}{4}}}$

using the energy equation for entry and exit value :

$\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0 = \frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g}$

where

$\to p_0=p_1=0\\\\\to Z_0=Z_1=H\\\\\to v_0=0\\\\AV =A_1V_1 \\\\\to V=(\frac{D_1}{D})^2 V_1\\\\\to V^2=(\frac{D_1}{D})^4 V^{2}_{1}$

$= (\frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D} ))^{\frac{1}{4}}})^4\ V^{2}_{1}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D}) )} \ V^{2}_{1}\\$

$\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0 =\frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g} \\\\$

$\to 0+0+Z_0 = 0 +\frac{V^{2}_{1} }{2g} +Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D} \frac{\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))}\ V^{2}_{1}}{2g} \\\\\to Z_0 -Z_1 = +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} \ (1+f\frac{l}{D}\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}) )} ) \\\\\to H= \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} (\frac{3}{2}) \\\\\to \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} = H(\frac{3}{2})$
