A cylindrical water tank has height 8 m and radius \(2 \mathrm{m}\) (see figure). a. If the tank is full of water, how much work is required to pump the water to the level of the top of the tank and out of the tank? b. Is it true that it takes half as much work to pump the water out of the tank when it is half full as when it is full? Explain.
For large distances from the surface of Earth, the gravitational force is given by \(F(x)=G M m /(x+R)^{2},\) where \(G=6.7 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2}\) is the gravitational constant, \(M=6 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{kg}\) is the mass of Earth, \(m\) is the mass of the object in the gravitational field, \(R=6.378 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{m}\) is the radius of Earth, and \(x \geq 0\) is the distance above the surface of Earth (in meters). a. How much work is required to launch a rocket with a mass of \(500 \mathrm{kg}\) in a vertical flight path to a height of \(2500 \mathrm{km}\) (from Earth's surface)? b. Find the work required to launch the rocket to a height of \(x\) kilometers, for \(x>0\) c. How much work is required to reach outer space \((x \rightarrow \infty) ?\) d. Equate the work in part (c) to the initial kinetic energy of the rocket, \(\frac{1}{2} m v^{2},\) to compute the escape velocity of the rocket.
Compute the following derivatives using the method of your choice. $$\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{\tan x}\right)$$
Zero net area Consider the function \(f(x)=\frac{1-x}{x}\) a. Are there numbers \(01\) such that \(\int_{1 / a}^{a} f(x) d x=0 ?\)
Compute the following derivatives using the method of your choice. $$\frac{d}{d x}\left[\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}\right]$$
