a bucket that weighs 5 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 60 ft deep. the bucket is filled with 44 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.



Answer :

The work done in hauling the bucket to the top of the well is 16ft/lb.

Using Riemann sum to calculate the area underneath a graph or curve.

At a rate of 0.15 lb/s, water escapes from a hole in the bucket. Convert this rate to inches per foot.

Q = 0.15 ÷ 1.5

Q = 0.01

As an outcome, water escapes at a rate of 0.01 lb/ft via a hole in the bucket.

Let x be the height in feet above the well's bottom. Thus, the total amount of water that leaks out of the hole is 0.01x The bucket is originally filled with 44 lb of water, and then 0.01x water seeps out. As a result, the water left in the bucket is,

44 - 0.01x

The bucket weighs 5 pounds. As a result, the total weight of the bucket when it reaches the top of the well is,

(44 - 0.01x) + 5

Because the well is 60 feet deep. As a result, the integration should be limited to a range of 0 to 60 feet. Take the above x function and solve it using the Riemann sum method.

W = [tex]\int\limits^{60}_{0} {44 - 0.01x + 5} \, dx[/tex]

W = | 0 - 0.01 (x² ÷ 2) + 0|[tex]{{}_{0}^{60}}[/tex]

W = 0.005(60)² - 0

W = 16 ft/lb
