A heavy rope, 50 ft long, weighs 0.6 lb/ft and hangs over the edge of a building 120 ft high. Approximate the required work by a

Riemann sum, then express the work as an integral and evaluate it.

Answer:

Exercise (a)

The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building is 750 lb·ft

Exercise (b)

The work done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building is 562.5 lb·ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise (a)

The given parameters of the rope are;

The length of the rope = 50 ft.

The weight of the rope = 0.6 lb/ft.

The height of the building = 120 ft.

We have;

The work done in pulling a piece of the upper portion, ΔW₁ is given as follows;

ΔW₁ = 0.6Δx·x

The work done for the second half, ΔW₂, is given as follows;

ΔW₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 25×0.6 × 25 =  0.6Δx·x + 375

The total work done, W = W₁ + W₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 0.6Δx·x + 375

∴ We have;

W = 2 \times \int\limits^{25}_0 {0.6 \cdot x} \, dx + 375= 2 \times \left[0.6 \cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2} \right]^{25}_0 + 375 = 750

The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building, W = 750 lb·ft

Exercise (b)

The work done in pulling half the rope is given by W₂ as follows;

W_2 =  \int\limits^{25}_0 {0.6 \cdot x} \, dx + 375= \left[0.6 \cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2} \right]^{25}_0 + 375 = 562.5

The work done in pulling half the rope, W₂ = 562.5 lb·ft

10. A manufacturer wanted to know if more coupons would be redeemed if they were mailed to the
Mandarinka [93]

Using the t-distribution, it is found that the data does not provide convincing evidence that the mean number is greater when the coupons were addressed to a female.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is no difference, that is, the mean is of 0, hence:

H_0: \mu = 0

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean number is greater for females, that is, the mean is greater than 0, hence:

H_1: \mu > 0

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

The parameters are:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 1.5, \mu = 0, s = 4.75, n = 50.

Hence, the test statistic is given by:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{1.5 - 0}{\frac{4.75}{\sqrt{50}}}

t = 2.23

<h3>What is the conclusion?</h3>

Considering a <em>right-tailed test</em>, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a <em>significance level of 0.01 and 50 - 1 = 49 df</em>, the critical value is given by t^{\ast} = 2.4.

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, the data does not provide convincing evidence that the mean number is greater when the coupons were addressed to a female.
