A bucket that weighs 5 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 50 ft deep. The bucket is filled with 38 lb of water and is pulled up at a rate of 1.5 ft/s, but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.15 lb/s. Find the work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well. Show how to approximate the required work by a Riemann sum. (Let x be the height in feet above the bottom of the well. Enter xi* as xi.)

Part A

The work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well is 1,775 ft.·lb

Part B

By Reimann approximation, the work done is 2,130 ft.·lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The parameters of the filled bucket of water being pulled upwards are;

The mass of the bucket = 5 lb

The mass of the rope = Negligible

The mass of water that fills the bucket = 38 lb

The rate at which the bucket is pulled up = 1.5 ft./s

The rate at which the bucket leaks, l = 0.15 lb/s

The height in feet above the bottom of the well = x

Therefore, we have;

Height of the bucket, x = 1.5·t

The weight of the bucket after a given time, t, W = 38 - 0.15·t

The time it takes to pull the bucket to the top of the well, t = d/v = 50/1.5 = 100/3 s. = $33.\overline3$ s

We have;

$W = \int\limits^{t = 33.\overline 3}_{t = 0} {F} \, dx$

x = 1.5·t, F = Weight of the bucket, W = 38 - 0.15·t

$W = \int\limits^{t = 33.\overline 3}_{t = 0} {(38-0.15\cdot t)} \, \cdot 1.5\cdot dt = \int\limits^{t = 33.\overline 3}_{t = 0} {(57-0.225\cdot t)} \, dt$

$W = [57\cdot t - 0.225 \cdot t^2]_0^{33.\overline 3}$

Therefore, we have;

W = (57 × $33.\overline3$ - (0.225/2) × $33.\overline3$ ²) - 0 = 1,775 ft.·lb

The work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well, W = 1,775 ft.·lb

Part B

By summing the areas of the rectangular areas on the graph, we have

W = 10 × 38 + 10 × (38 - 0.1×10) + 10 × (38 - 0.1 × 20) + 10 × (38 - 0.1 × 30) + 10 × (38 - 0.1 × 40) + 10 × (38 - 0.1 × 50) = 2,130

Therefore, by left Reimann approximation, the work done, W = 2,130 ft.·lb

(More precisely, we have;

The weight at the bottom, F₁ = 38 lb.

The weight at the top of the well, F₂ = 38 - 0.15 × 100/3 = 33

∴ F₂ = 33 lb.

The average weight, $F_{average}$ = (F₁ + F₂)/2 = (38 lb. + 33 lb.)/2 = 35.5 lb.

Therefore, the work done, $F_{average}$ × d = 35.5 lb × 50 ft. = 1,775 ft.lb

The work done, W = 1,775 ft.lb)

the formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

from a table we have

$x_1=-4,\ y_1=7\\\\x_2=-2,\ y_2=5$

substitute:

$m=\dfrac{5-7}{-)}=\dfrac{-2}{2}=-1$

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

answer: the function g(x) has the greatest slope.
The functions, f(x) and g(x) , are shown below. x f(x) -4 7 -2 5 0 3 2 1 4 -1 which function has the

Answercounterclockwise rotation about the origin by 180 degrees followed by reflection about the y-axisexplanationthe given figure has vertices $p(1,2),q(2,1),r(3,2),s(3,3)$ recall that for counterclockwise rotation about the origin, $(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,-y)$ when we rotate figure pqrs counterclockwise through an angle of 180° about the origin, the coordinates will become $p1( - 1, - 2),q1( - 2, - 1),r1( - 3, - 2),s1( - 3, - 3)$ next, we reflect in the y-axis by negating the x-coordinates of the resulting figure to obtain, $p'(1, - 2),q'(2, - 1),r'(3, - 2),s'(3, - 3)$ therefore the correct answer is c

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?
