    Leaky Oil Can - Rate Measure

    A leaky cylindrical oil can has a diameter of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches. The can is full of oil and is leaking at a rate of 2 in.^3/hr. The oil leaks into an empty conical cup with a diameter of 8 in. and a height of 8 in. A. At what rate is the depth of the oil in the conical cup rising when the oil in the cup is 3 in

    Motion under air Resistance

    A shell of mass 4 kg is shot upward with an initial velocity of 500 m/s. The magnitude of the force due to air resistance is |v|/20. When will the shell reach its maximum height above the ground? What is the maximum height?

    Integrals and volume

    1.see attached 2. The amount of alcohol in the bloodstream,A, declines at a rate proportional to the amount, that is dA ____= -kA. If k= 0.6 for a particular dt person, how long will it take for his alcohol concentration to decrease from 0.10% to

    Closed unit disc

    Pilot Off Course

    A pilot, attempting to fly from Middletown to Westburg, a distance of 200 miles, notices after flying 180 miles that West burg is still 35 miles away because the heading was off by a few degrees. How many degrees was the heading off the desired course (to one decimal place)?

    The Closest Approach between Two Boats

    Mike, who is standing on the deck of a yacht that is traveling due west at 6km/h, sees a sailboat sailing southwest at 4km/h, 3 km northwest of the yacht. How close to each other do these boats get?

    Determining Average Class Missed per Student

    Mary, Pete and Michael were the only 3 students in a seminar in history. The class consisted of 15 sessions. Mary missed 1 of the classes, Pete missed 2 of the classes and Michael missed 2 of the classes. What is the average number of classes missed per student?

    Word problem with fractions

    A survey of college sophomores showed that 5/6 of the males were taking a mathematics class and 3/4 of the females were taking a mathematics class. One-third of the males were enrolled in calculus, and 1/5 of the females were enrolled in calculus. If just as many males as females were surveyed then what fraction of the surveyed

    Spherical coordinates and electrical charge

    An electric charge is distributed throughout 3-space with density inversely proportional to the distance from the origin. Show that the total charge inside a sphere of radius R is proportional to R^2.

    Find a parametric representation for each of the surfaces.

    Find a parametric representation for each of the surfaces. 1.) The part of the sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 4 that lies above the cone z= square root of x^2 + y^2 2.) The part of the cylinder x^2 + z^2 = 1 that lies between the planes y= -1 and y= 3

    Conservative Force

    Please see attached page for problem. From a plot of F guess whether it is conservative. Then determine whether your guess is correct.

    Blood pressure and weight

    See attached file. The relationship between the weight of a child (w, in pounds) and the child's blood pressure (P, in millimeters of mercury) is given by the function above. a. Find the rate of change of blood pressure with respect to weight when the child's weight is 60lbs. b. Find the weight (to the nearest pound)

    Metrics Elements Defined

    For x an element of R upper k and y an element of R upper k define d1 (x, y) = max{|x of i - y of i| : 1≤i≤k} and d2 (x, y) = min{|x of i - y of i| : 1≤i≤k}. Determine for each of these whether it is a metric or not. Fully explain your answers. Thank you so much.

    Converging Subsequence

    Theorem: Suppose that a sequence S of real numbers has a subsequence that converges to a real number a. Then S converges to a. I know this is true as an if and only if statement, but I need a counter example to show that just one converging subsequence isn't enough. Here are two sequences I'm considering: {1,-1,1,-1,1,-1..
