A construction crane lifts a bucket of sand originally weighing 145 lbs at a constant rate. Sand is lost from the bucket at a co

nstant rate of .5lbs/ft. How much work is done in lifting the sand 80ft?

Answer: $10,000\ lb.ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial weight of the bucket is $145\ lb$

It is lifted at constant rate and rate of sand escaping is $0.5\ lb/ft$

At any height weight of the sand is $w(h)=145-0.5h$

Work done is given by the product of applied force and displacement or the area under weight-displacement graph

from the figure area is given by

$\Rightarrow W=\int_{0}^{80}\left ( 145-0.5h \right )dh\\\\\Rightarrow W=\left | 145h-\dfrac{0.5h^2}{2} \right |_0^{80}\\\\\Rightarrow W=\left [ 145\times 80-\dfrac{0.5(80))^2}{2} \right ]-0\\\\\Rightarrow W=11,600-1600\\\\\Rightarrow W=10,000\ lb.ft$

Amber is starting a garden. She plants 2 flowers the first month. The next month, she plans three times more flowers (6 flowers)

Artist 52 [7]

This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:
$
\begin{tabular}{lll}
Month & Number of flowers planted & Different form \\
1 & 2 & 2\cdot3^0 \\
2 & 6 & 2\cdot3^1 \\
3 & 18 & 2\cdot3^2 \\
4 & 54 & 2\cdot3^3
\end{tabular}
\end{table}$
The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:
$N=2\cdot3^{n-1}$
This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.

Answer:

m∠DEC = 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: AC = AD, AB⊥BD, m∠DAC = 44° and CE bisects ∠ACD.

If two sides of a triangles are congruent then the opposite angles of congruent sides are congruent.

AC = AD (Given)

$\angle ADC\cong \angle ACD$

$m\angle ADC=m\angle ACD$

According to the angle sum property, the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

$m\angle ADC+m\angle ACD+m\angle DAC=180$

$m\angle ACD+m\angle ACD+44=180$

$2m\angle ACD=180-44$

$2m\angle ACD=136$

Divide both sides by 2.

$m\angle ACD=68$

CE bisects ∠ACD.

$m\angle ACE=m\angle DCE=\dfrac{\angle ACD}{2}$

$m\angle ACE=m\angle DCE=\dfrac{68}{2}$

$m\angle ACE=m\angle DCE=34$

Use angle sum property in triangle CDE,

$m\angle CDE+m\angle DCE+m\angle DEC=180$

$68+34+m\angle DEC=180$

$68+34+m\angle DEC=180$

$102+m\angle DEC=180$

Subtract 102 from both sides.

$m\angle DEC=180-102$

$m\angle DEC=78$

Therefore, the measure of angle DEC is 78°.
