A firefighter is standing on top of a building 19 m high, holding a firehose 1m above thetop of the building. She finds that if she holds the hose horizontally the waterflows fromit at 12 m/s. As this happens, the water hits an adjacent burning building at a heightof 15 m above the ground. (The gravity constant is 9.8 m/s².)How long does it take the water to travel from one building to the other?

Given :- The gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² water is coming out at a height = 20 meters As the…

The rectangular tank shown here, with its top at ground level, is used to catch runoff water. Assume that the water weighs 62.3 lb/ft³. a. How much work does it take to empty the tank by pumping the water back to ground level once the tank is full? b. If the water is pumped to ground level with an (8/11)-horsepower (hp) motor (work output 400 ft-lb/sec), how long will it take to empty the tank (to the nearest minute)? c. Show that the pump in part (b) will lower the water level 15 ft (halfway) during the first 20 minutes of pumping. d. What are the answers to parts (a) and (b) in a location where water weighs 62.16 lb/ft³? 62.42 lb/ft³? a. Set up an integral to find the work done. W = Ground 5 ft level 0 30 14 ft
A 26 foot ladder is sliding down a vertical wall. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. If you consider the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the ground, at what rate is the area of the triangle changing when the base of the ladder is 10 feet from the wall?What does the sign of your answer (whether it is positive or negative) say about the area of the triangle at that moment?Would you expect the rate at which the area is changing to have the same sign (positive or negative) when the base of the ladder is any distance from the wall?
A tubular metal 3.9 meters long leans against a vertical wall and the other foot of the metal is on the horizontal ground. If the foot of the metal was pushed towards the wall at the rate 1.8m/s, at what rate is the top of the tubular metal move when the foot is 1.5 meters from the wall
Imagine a diver jumping off a spring board that is 10 feet above the water. The board throws the diver up with an upward velocity of 9 feet per second. That means that if there were no gravity, the diver would keep going up at the rate of 9 feet every second. Fortunately for the diver, there is gravity. Eventually, gravity over comes the force of the diving board and the the diver begins to come down. So over all, the diver is thrown into the air fairly quickly, he slows down until he stops, then begins to come back down (slowly at first, then faster and faster until he hits the water). The height of any object like the diver that is projected into the air can be modeled with the following function: h(t) = -16t^2 + v*t + m In this function: h(t) is the height of the object t seconds after it was thrown into the air. t is the number of seconds after the object was thrown in the air. v is the initial upward velocity (for the diver this was 9 ft per second). m is the initial height of the…
1. A ball is thrown up in the air from a cliff with the initial speed of 10 meters per second and hits the ground 11 seconds later. How tall is the cliff? You may assume that the acceleration due to gravity is –10 meters per second squared.
A cylindrical buoy weighing 100 lb (thus of mass m = 3.125 slugs in ft-lb-s (fps) units) floats in water with its axis vertical . When depressed slightlyand released, it oscillates up and down four times every 10s. Find the radius of the buoy.
A chamber 27 m beneath the Earth contains hot water with a density of 1000 kg/m³ at a pressure of 955,526 Pa. A narrowing channel leads upwards to a circular vent at the surface having negligible area compared to that of the chamber. At what speed is hot water ejected from the vent? Atmospheric pressure is 1.01 x 105 Pa V = - m/s
