A bucket that weighs 4lband a rope of negligible weight are used todraw water from a well that is 80ftdeep. The bucket is filled

with 40lbof waterand is pulled up at a rate of 2ft/s, but water leaks out of a hole in the bucketat a rate of 0.2lb/s. Find the work done in pulling the bucket to the top ofthe well.

Answer:

Workdone = 3200 lb.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the bucket is filled with 40 lb of water but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.2lb/s

Thus,

Weight of water at any given time (t) would be;

w(t) = 40 - 0.2t - - - - (1)

We are told the bucket is pulled up at a rate of 2ft/s.

Thus, height at time (t); y = 0 + 2t = 2t

Since y = 2t,

Then,t = y/2

Put y/2 for t in eq 1

Thus; w(y) = 40 - 0.2(y/2)

w(y) = 40 - 0.1y

Now, at y = 80 ft, we have;

w(80) = 40 - 0.1(80)

w(80) = 40 - 8 = 32 lb

Since 32 lbs are left, it means there is always water in the bucket.

Thus, work done is;

W = 80,0[∫(Total weight).dy]

W = 80,0[∫[(weight of rope) + (weight of bucket) + (weight of water)]dy]

W = 80,0[∫[0 + 4 + 40 - 0.1y]dy]

Integrating, we have;

W = [44y - y²/20] at boundary of 80 and 0

So,

W = [44(80) - 80²/20] - [0 - 0²/20]

W = 3200 lb.ft

If f(x) = 1/3x^2 + 5, find f(-9).<br> A. 248<br> B. -22<br> C. 11<br> D. 32
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

D. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we simply plug -9 in for x in f(x):

f(x)=\frac{1}{3} x^2+5  ⇒  f(9)=\frac{1}{3} *(9^2)+5=\frac{1}{3} *81+5=27+5=32

Thus, the answer is D. 32.

Hope this helps!

Find last year’s salary if, after a 3% pay raise, this year’s salary is $30,900
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Your answer is $30,000.
The way I have answered this is quite strange, but I'll do my best to explain it. So because we know that $30,900 is 3% than last year, we can call it 103%. This allows us to form a ratio and therefore find 100%.
30,900 : 103
÷ 103
300 : 1
× 100
30,000 : 100
Which means $30,000 is 100%, or 3% less than $30,900. I hope this helps! Let me know if it was confusing or anything :)
