You may have seen those "dumping buckets" at
a pool or water park. There is a water source
filling a bucket. At some point when the bucket
becomes full it will suddenly tilt, splashing peo-
ple beneath. The idea of this worksheet is to
analyze the physics of the dumping bucket us-
ing calculus. For purposes of this problem the
bucket will be assumed to have a height of 0.5 m.
The vertical coordinate will be denoted by x,
and the pivot axis for the bucket is halfway up,
at height x = 0.25 m. The cross-sectional ra-
dius at bottom, x = 0, is 0.125m and the cross-
sectional radius at top, x = 0.5m, is 0.5m.
Our idealized bucket.
Problem 1 (The Bucket). a) If the bucket is a section of a circular cone then the radius of the cross-section
grows linearly with height. Find an expression for the radius as a function of height.
b) Using the formula V = [ A(y)dy, where A(y) is the cross-sectional area at height y, find the total
volume of the bucket in liters.
I am really confused about the sandwich theorem. I did not understand the lesson and would love to understand how to do it.

Alex starts at the westernmost point and runs counterclockwise, taking 200 seconds to run one lap. Charlie runs clockwise at 3 meters per second and passes Alex for the first time after they have been running for 25 seconds. (a)From when he begins running, how long does it take Charlie to reach the northernmost point of the track? (b)How many meters north or south of his starting point is Charlie after he has been running for 1200 seconds? Specify the number of meters, and whether Charlie is north or south of his starting point.
