Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown. The monument is made from tens of thousands of small stone blocks of density 3,800 kg/m. The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an object-Earth system is given by U; = M g you where M is the total mass of the object and yau is the elevation 15.7 m 64.8 m 3.60 m of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.

A bucket begins holding 25 kgs of sand. The bucket is to be lifted to the top of a 20 meter tall building by a rope with density 0.3 kg/m. However, the bucket has a hole in it, and leaks 0.3 kgs of sand each meter it is lifted. Find the work done lifting the bucket and rope to the top of the building. Use 9.8 m/s² for gravity.
Suppose you have an ice cream cone full of melted ice cream. The ice cream cone is in the shape of a right circular cone and is 0.5 feet tall with a width (diameter) of 0.25 feet at the top. You decide to drink the melted ice cream using a straw positioned at the top of the cone. How much work is necessary to drink all of the ice cream through the straw? Note that the approximate weight-density of melted ice cream is 64.05 pounds per cubic foot. Round your final answer to 3 decimal places.
Kangaroos have very stout tendons in their legs that can be used to store energy. When a kangaroo lands on its feet, the tendons stretch, transforming kinetic energy of motion to elastic potential energy. Much of this energy can be transformed back into kinetic energy as the kangaroo takes another hop. The kangaroo’s peculiar hopping gait is not very efficient at low speeds but is quite efficient at high speeds. as shown the energy cost of human and kangaroo locomotion. The graph shows oxygen uptake (in mL/s) per kg of body mass, allowing a direct comparison between the two species. For humans, the energy used per second (i.e., power) is proportional to the speed. That is, the human curve nearly passes through the origin, so running twice as fast takes approximately twice as much power. For a hopping kangaroo, the graph of energy use has only a very small slope. In other words, the energy used per second changes very little with speed. Going faster requires very little additional…
