A bucket that weighs 3 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 90 ft deep. The bucket is filled with 36 lb of water and is pulled up at a rate of 2.5 ft/s but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of. 25 lb/s. Find the work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well?

A. 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)

B. Express the Integral

C. Evaluate the integral

    a) Lim (0-inf) Work = (36 - 0.1*xi) * dx

    b) Work = integral ((36 - 0.1*xi)). dx

    c) Work = 2835 lb-ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    - The weight of the bucket W = 3 lb

    - The depth of the well d = 90 ft

    - Rate of pull = 2.5 ft/s

    - water flow out at a rate of = 0.25 lb/s

    Find:

    A. 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)

    B. Express the Integral

    C. Evaluate the integral

    Solution:

    A.

    - At time t the bucket is xi = 2.5*t ft above its original depth of 90 ft but now it hold only (36 - 0.25*t) lb of water at an instantaneous time t.

    - In terms of distance the bucket holds:

    (36 - 0.25 * (xi/2.5)) = (36 - 0.1*xi)

    - Moving this constant amount of water through distance dx, we have:

    Work = (36 - 0.1*xi) * dx

    B.

    The integral for the work done is:

    Work = integral ((36 - 0.1*xi)). dx

    Where the limits are 0 < x < 90.

    C.

    - Evaluate the integral as follows:

    Work = (36xi - 0.05*xi^2)

    - Evaluate limits:

    Work = (36*90 - 0.05*90^2)

    Work = 2835 lb-ft
