The work required to pump the water out of the spout is 5000ft⋅lb

Given

The volume V=12(4ft)(5ft)(6ft)=60ft3,

Then the weight is w = γV = (62.5lb /ft³) (60ft³) = 3750lb.

Since work is force × distance, you need a distance here, and the appropriate one is the distance you must raise the center of mass to get the H2O out of the spout.

Since the center of mass of a uniform triangular area is 13 of the way from any side, the distance is (4ft)/3 so the work is (3750lb) (4ft)/3=5000 ft-lb.

In calculus, the area of a horizontal section yft from the lowest point is (5ft) × (6ft) × y / (4ft) = 7.5y ft2.

We have to lift that slice 4ft−y, so work is

w = $\int\limits^4_0$ (62.5)(4 − y) (7.5y)

dy = (62.5)[15y2−2.5y3]40 = 5000ft⋅lb

The work required to pump the water out of the spout is 5000ft-lb

There is no solution to this problem. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!

We can initially solve this problem using PEMDAS. Where we go wrong will be identified later. The P stands for Parenthesis, but there are none in this equation so we can skip that step. Next is E, which stands for Exponents. We do have an exponent, but it is separate from the problem. That would deem the problem invalid to solve because there is no base number for the exponent to be solved. Disregarding the exponent, we can solve by using M, which means Multiplication.

2 x 7 = 14

Next step, we can simplify to make the equation a tad bit neater.

3 + 14 - 30

Next up is D, meaning we need to divide. There are no numbers to divide though, so this step can be skipped.

Next step would be A, meaning we need to add.
3 + 14 = 17

Next step, we can simplify to make the equation neater as stated above.

17 - 30

17 - 30 = -13.

Disregarding the exponent, your answer would be -13. Including the exponent, however, would make the equation irrelevant. If you need extra help understanding this, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Answer:

see the attachment for a graph

4.53 thousand square yards remain after 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be described by an exponential equation that multiplies the area by 0.85 when the time variable increases by 1 year. Such an equation might be ...

a(t) = 10.2·0.85^(t-1)

The graph of this is attached.

After 6 years, the equation predicts

a(6) = 10.2·0.85^(6-1) ≈ 4.53 thousand square yards

of island will remain.
