A heavy rope, 50 ft long, weighs 0.6 lb/ft and hangs over the edge of a building 120 ft high. Approximate the required work by a Riemann sum, then express the work as an integral and evaluate it.

Exercise (a)

How much work W is done in pulling the rope to the top of the building?

Exercise (b)

How much work W is done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building?

Answer:

Exercise (a)

The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building is 750 lb·ft

Exercise (b)

The work done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building is 562.5 lb·ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise (a)

The given parameters of the rope are;

The length of the rope = 50 ft.

The weight of the rope = 0.6 lb/ft.

The height of the building = 120 ft.

We have;

The work done in pulling a piece of the upper portion, ΔW₁ is given as follows;

ΔW₁ = 0.6Δx·x

The work done for the second half, ΔW₂, is given as follows;

ΔW₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 25×0.6 × 25 =  0.6Δx·x + 375

The total work done, W = W₁ + W₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 0.6Δx·x + 375

∴ We have;

W = [tex]2 \times \int\limits^{25}_0 {0.6 \cdot x} \, dx + 375= 2 \times \left[0.6 \cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2} \right]^{25}_0 + 375 = 750[/tex]

The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building, W = 750 lb·ft

Exercise (b)

The work done in pulling half the rope is given by W₂ as follows;

[tex]W_2 = \int\limits^{25}_0 {0.6 \cdot x} \, dx + 375= \left[0.6 \cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2} \right]^{25}_0 + 375 = 562.5[/tex]

The work done in pulling half the rope, W₂ = 562.5 lb·ft

A design engineer wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling the service life of a halogen headlamp his company produces. He knows from numerous previous samples that this service life is normally distributed with a mean of 500 hours and a standard deviation of 20 hours. On three recent production batches, he tested service life on random samples of four headlamps, with these results.

Sample Service Life (hours)
1 495 500 505 500
2 525 515 505 515
3 470 480 460 470

1. What is the sample mean service life for sample 2?

a. 460 hours
b. 495 hours
c. 515 hours
d. 525 hours

2. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means for whenever service life is in control?

a. 250 hours
b. 470 hours
c. 495 hours
d. 500 hours
e. 515 hours

The television show 50 Minutes has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 15, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 15% were tuned to 50 Minutes. An advertiser wants to verify that 15% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 15 households have TV sets in use at the time of a 50 Minutes broadcast.

Required:
a. Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Lindsay and Tobias. (Round to three decimal places as needed)
b. Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Lindsay and Tobias.
c. Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Lindsay and Tobias.
d. If a most one household is tuned to Linday and Tobias, does it appear that the 15% share value is wrong? Why or wh not?
