In a certain library the first shelf is 15.0 cm off the ground, and the remaining four shelves are each spaced 38.0 cm above the

previous one. If the average book has a mass of 1.40 kg with a height of 22.0 cm, and an average shelf holds 28 books (standing vertically), how much work is required to fill all the shelves, assuming the books are all laying flat on the floor to start?

Answer:

1747.9 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done to lift a book by a certain height \Delta h is

W=mg\Delta h

where

m = 1.40 kg is the mass of one book

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The first shelf is 15.0 cm (0.15 m) from the ground, and it can be filled with 28 books. So, the work done to fill the first shelf is

W_1=28mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(0.15)=57.6 J

The 2nd shelf is 38.0 cm above the first one, so its height from the ground is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 =53.0 cm=0.53 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_2=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(0.53)=203.6 J

The height of the third shelf is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 +38.0=91.0 cm=0.91 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_3=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(0.91)=349.6 J

The height of the 4th shelf is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 +38.0+38.0=129.0 cm=1.29 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_4=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(1.29)=495.6 J

The height of the 5th shelf is

\Delta h =15.0+38.0 +38.0+38.0+38.0=167.0 cm=1.67 m

It can also contain 28 books, so the work done to fill this shelf is

W_5=28 mg\Delta h=28(1.40)(9.8)(1.67)=641.5 J

Therefore, the total work done is:

W=W_1+W_2+W_3+W_4+W_5=57.6+203.6+349.6+495.6+641.5=1747.9 J

triangle qrs has the angle measures shown. m∠q = (1x)° m∠r = (3x)° m∠s = (6x)° the measure of the obtuse angle equals
skelet666 [1.2K]
The sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°.

m∠q + m∠r + m∠s = 180°
1x + 3x + 6x = 180
10x = 180
x = 180/10
x = 18

m∠q = (1x)° = 1 x 18 = 18°
m∠ r = (3x)° = 3 x 18 = 54°
m∠s = (6x)° = 6 x 18 = 108°

m∠s is the obtuse angle because its measure is more than 90°. Its angle measures 108°

Suppose that $9500 is placed in an account that pays 8% interest compounded each year.
Blababa [14]

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$9500\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\dotfill &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{each year, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases}


\bf A=9500\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 1}\implies A=9500(1.08)\implies \boxed{A=10260} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{after 2 years, t = 2}}{A=9500\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 2}}\implies A=9500(1.08)^2\implies \boxed{A=11080.8}

How do you do this question?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

∑ (-1)ⁿ⁺³ 1 / (n^½)

∑ (-1)³ⁿ 1 / (8 + n)

Step-by-step explanation:

If ∑ an is convergent and ∑│an│is divergent, then the series is conditionally convergent.

Option A: (-1)²ⁿ is always +1.  So an =│an│and both series converge (absolutely convergent).

Option B: bn = 1 / (n^⁹/₈) is a p series with p > 1, so both an and │an│converge (absolutely convergent).

Option C: an = 1 / n³ isn't an alternating series.  So an =│an│and both series converge (p series with p > 1).  This is absolutely convergent.

Option D: bn = 1 / (n^½) is a p series with p = ½, so this is a diverging series.  Since lim(n→∞) bn = 0, and bn is decreasing, then an converges.  So this is conditionally convergent.

Option E: (-1)³ⁿ = (-1)²ⁿ (-1)ⁿ = (-1)ⁿ, so this is an alternating series.  bn = 1 / (8 + n), which diverges.  Since lim(n→∞) bn = 0, and bn is decreasing, then an converges.  So this is conditionally convergent.
