A bucket that weighs 5 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 80 ft deep. The bucket is filled with 42 lb of water and is pulled up at a rate of 2 ft/s, but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.2 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.)

Answer:

We can conclude that the work applied is 3440ft-lb

Explanation:

Water leaks out of te bucket at rate of [tex]\frac{0.2lb/s}{2ft/s} = 0.1 lb/ft[/tex]

We define now that the Force here is just the water x feet above the bottom and the combined weight of the bucket.

In an equation we can arrange that,

[tex]F(x) = (42-0.1x) + 5[/tex]

The integral of a Force is the Work.

[tex]W = \int\limit^b_a F(x) dx[/tex]

[tex]W = \int\limit^{80}_0 (47-0.1x)dx[/tex]

[tex]W = 47x-0.05x^2 \big |^{80}_0[/tex]

[tex]W = 3440 ft-lb[/tex]

We can conclude that the work applied is 3440ft-lb.

The work done is required in pulling of the bucket to the top of the well is 3440 ft-ib.

What is Riemann sum?

Riemann sum is the method of finding the area under the graph or curve by the application of integration.

As the water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.2 lb/s. Convert this rate into the ib/ ft as,

[tex]Q=\dfrac{0.2}{2}\\Q=0.1\rm ib/ft[/tex]

Thus, the water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.1 lb/ft.

Let x be the height in feet above the bottom of the well. Thus the total water leaks out from the hole is,

[tex]0.1x[/tex]

The bucket is filled with 42 lb of water initially and the 0.1x water is leaked out. Thus the water remains in the bucket is,

[tex]42-0.1x[/tex]

The weighs of the bucket is 5 lb. Thus the total weighs of the bucket, when it comes at the top of the well is,

[tex](42-0.1x)+5[/tex]

As the well is 80 ft deep. Thus the limit for the integration should be from 0 to 80 feet. Take the above function of x and solve it by the Riemann sum method as,

[tex]W=\int\limits^{80}_0 {(42-0.1x)+5} \, dx \\W= |{(0-0.1\dfrac{x^2}{2})+0}|^{80}_0 \\W=0.05(80)^2-0\\W=3440\rm ft-ib[/tex]

Thus, the work done is required in pulling the bucket to the top of the well is 3440 ft-ib.
