Built around 2600 BCE, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is 485 ft high (due to erosion, its current height is slightly less) a

nd has a square base of side length 755.5 ft. Find the work W needed to build the pyramid if the density of the stone is estimated at 150 lb/ft3. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:1.69*10^12 J

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure above, using triangle ratio

485/755.5=y/l. Cross multiplying 485l=755.5y Divide via 485) hence l= 755.5y/485

Consider a slice volume Vslice= (755.5y/485)^2∆y; recall density =150lb/ft^3

Force slice = 150*755.5^2.y^2.∆y/485^2

From figure 2 in the attachment work done for elementary sclice

Wslice= 150.755.5^2.y^2.∆y.(485-y)/485^2

= (150*755.5^2*y^2)(485-y)∆y/485

To calculate the total work we integrate from y=0 to y= 485

Ie W=[ integral of 150*755.5^2 *y^2(485-y)dy/485] at y=0 and y= 485

Integrating the above

W= 150*755.5^2/485[485*y^3/3-y^4/4] at y= 0 and y=485

W= 150*755.5^2/485(485*485^3/3-484^4/4)-(485.0^3/3-0^4/4)

Work done 1.69*10^12joules

Shaunda answered 86% of the questions on her test correctly. If there were 50 questions on the test, how many did she NOT answer
Arada [10]

Answer: 7 Answers Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

86% may be written as (86/100) or as 0.86.

Since "it's a ratio (sic.) problem," then:

                 86/100 = correct/50

                correct = (86/100)*50       (multiply both sides by 50)

                correct = 43

And, 50-43 = 7 incorrect

The distance between X and Y is 6 1/2 units. Which number could represent the point Y?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf 3.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = \sf 6 \frac{1}{2} \ units = 6.5 \ units

Here X is -3

So,

Point Y = -3 + 6.5 = 3.5

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
