Math 150B/155A Worksheet for 6.4
- A spring, whose unstretched length is 1 meter, stretches to a length of 3 meters when a force of 3 newtons is applied. Find the work needed to stretch the spring to a length of 2 meters from its natural length.
- How much work is required to stretch the spring in Problem 1 to a length of 4 meters?
- A spring, whose unstretched length is 2 meters, is compressed to a length of 1/2
meter when a force of 10 newtons is applied. Find the work required to
compress the spring to a length of 1 meter.
- How much work is required to compress the spring in Problem 3 to a length of 1.5 meters?
- A spring, whose unstretched length is 4 feet, stretches to a length of 8 feet when a force of 2 pounds is applied. If 9 foot-pounds of work is expended to stretch this spring from an unstretched position, what is its total length?
- If 8 foot-pounds of work is expended on the spring in Problem 5, how far is it stretched?
- How much work is required to pump all the water over the top of a full cylindrical tank that is 4 meters in diameter and 6 meters high?
- How much work is required to pump half the water over the top of the tank in Problem 7?
- A full tank in the shape of an inverted right circular cone is 8 meters across the
top and 4 meters high. How much work is required to pump all the water over the top of the tank?
- If the surface of the water in the tank of Problem 9 is 2 meters below the top of
the tank, how much work is required to pump all the water over the top of the
tank?
- A water tank in the shape of a hemispherical bowl of radius 4 meters is filled with water to a depth of 2 meters. How much work is required to pump all the water over the top of the tank?
- If the water tank in Problem 11 is completely filled with water, how much work is required to pump all the water to a height 2 meters above the tank?
- A swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped 6 feet deep, 30
feet long, and 20 feet wide. It is filled with water to a depth of 5 feet. How much work is required to pump all the water over the top?
