Chapter 9, Problem 47P
Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown in Figure P9.25. The monument is made from tens of thousands of small stone blocks of density 3 800 kg/m3. 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 Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.

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.
