Aleaky 12-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 15 m at a constant speed with a rope that weights 0.75 kg/m. initially the bucket contains 40 kg of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the 15 m level. how much work is done

Approximately 5.5 kJ.

Explanation:

The mass of water in the bucket is $\rm 40\; kg$ at a height of 0 meters above the ground.At a height of 15 meters, the mass of the water would be $\rm 0\; kg$ .

The bucket goes up at a constant rate. Also, the water leaks at a constant rate. As a result, the mass of water in the bucket changes at a constant rate as height increases.

Find the rate at which the mass of water decreases over height:

$\begin{aligned} &\text{Rate at which water leaks}\cr &= \frac{\text{Change in mass of Water}}{\text{Change in height}} \cr &= \rm \frac{40 \; kg - 0\; kg}{15\; m} \cr &= \rm \frac{40}{15}\; kg \cdot m^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, $\displaystyle \rm \frac{40}{15}\; kg$ of water leaks out of the bucket everytime its height increases by $\rm 1\; m$ .

Hence, the mass of water at $h\; \rm m$ would be $\displaystyle 40 - \frac{40}{15}\, h$ $\rm kg$ . Write that as a function of height:

$\displaystyle m_\text{water}(h) = 40 - \frac{40}{15}\, h = \frac{40}{15} \, (15 - h)$ .

On the other hand, $(40 - h)\; \rm m$ of rope is still in the air while the bucket is at a height of $h\; \rm m$ . The mass of the rope that needs to be lifted at would thus be $0.75\; (15 - h)\; \rm kg$ .

Write that also as a function of the height of the bucket:

$\displaystyle m_\text{rope}(h) = 0.75\; (15 - h)$ .

Add the mass of the bucket:

$\displaystyle m(h) = \frac{40}{15}\, (15 - h) + 0.75\; (15 - h) + 12$ .

Simplify this expression:

$\begin{aligned} m(h) &= \frac{40}{15}\, (15 - h) + 0.75\; (40 - h) + 12 \cr &= \left(\frac{40}{15} + 0.75\right) (15 - h) + 12\end{aligned}$ .

The only two forces on the bucket are gravitational force and tension force from the rope. Since the bucket is moving at constant speed, the net force on it should be zero. The two forces must balance each other. In other words, they must act in opposite directions. Most importantly, the must be of equal magnitude. That is:

$\begin{aligned} F(h) &= W(h) \cr &= m(h) \cdot g \cr &= 9.81 \times \left(\left(\frac{40}{15} + 0.75\right) (15 - h) + 12\right)\cr &= 9.81 \times \left(\frac{40}{15} + 0.75\right) (15 - h) + 9.81 \times 12 \cr &\approx 502.763 - 33.5175\; h + 117.72 \cr &= 620.483 - 33.5175\; h\end{aligned}$ .

Integrate force over distance travelled to find work done. In this case, since the bucket is moving upwards, distance travelled is equal to height.

$\begin{aligned}W &= \int \limits_{0}^{15} (620.483 - 33.5175\; h) \, dh \cr &= \left[620.483\; h - \frac{1}{2}\times 33.5175\; h^2\right]^{15}_{0} \cr &= \left(620.483 \times 15 - \frac{1}{2} \times 33.5175 \times 15^2\right) - 0 \cr &\approx 5.5\times 10^{3}\; \rm J \cr &= 5.5\;\rm kJ \end{aligned}$ .

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.

Steam is generated in a boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 mpa and 450°c at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. in normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 mpa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. in this mode, no steam passes through a condenser, which operates at 20 kpa. (a) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure.

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?
