Chapter 15.7, Problem 31E

When studying the formation of mountain ranges, geologists estimate the amount of work required to lift a mountain from sea level. Consider a mountain that is essentially in the shape of a right circular cone. Suppose that the weight density of the material in the vicinity of a point P is g(P) and the height is h(P).

(a) Find a definite integral that represents the total work done in forming the mountain.

(b) Assume that Mount Fuji in Japan is in the shape of a right circular cone with radius 62,000 ft, height 12,400 ft, and density a constant 200 lb/ft³. How much work was done in forming Mount Fuji if the land was initially at sea level?

4. A spherical hailstone grows in a cloud. The hailstone maintains a spherical shape while its radius increases at a rate of 0.2 mm/min a) Express the radius, r, in millimetres, of the hailstone, as a function of the time, t, in minutes. b) Express the volume, V, in cubic millimetres, of the hailstone, in terms of r. c) Determine (Vºr)(t) and explain what it means. d) What is the volume of the hailstone 1h after it begins to form?

An explosion at an oil rig located in gulf waters causesan elliptical oil slick to spread on the surface from the rig. The slickis a constant 9 in. thick. After several days, when the major axis ofthe slick is 2 mi long and the minor axis is 3/4 mi wide, it is determinedthat its length is increasing at the rate of 30 ft/hr, and itswidth is increasing at the rate of 10 ft/hr. At what rate (in cubic feetper hour) is oil flowing from the site of the rig at that time?

Find the fluid force (in lb) on a circular observation window of radius 1 foot in a vertical wall of a large water-filled tank at a fish hatchery when the center of the window is 8 feet and d feet (d > 1) below the water's surface (see figure). Use trigonometric substitution to evaluate the one integral. Water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. (Recall that in Section 7.7, in a similar problem, you evaluated one integral by a geometric formula and the other by observing that the integrand was odd.) (a) 8 feet (b) d feet below X lb lb x² + y² = 1 -2 2 X
