A cylindrical paint can has a 6.5 inch inside diameter and is 7.75 inches high. It is being filled with paint at a rate of 120in
Zina [86]

Answer:

The rate of coating of surface is = 74 inch²/min

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter = 6.5-inch, height = 7.75-inch, rate of filling or dv/dt = 120 inch/min

Since the differential of an equation is basically its rate of change with respect to another variable.

Radius = d/2 = 6.5/2 = 3.25 inch, ds/dt = ? can also be understood as the rate at which the surface area of the cylindrical paint can is coated.

We know that the surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr², this is equation 1

The volume for the cylinder = V = πr²h

dv/dt = πr² x dh/dt, where r is constant

120 = π x (3.25)² x dh/dt

Dh/dt = 120/π x (3.25)²

Now differentiate the surface area equation 1

ds/dt = 2 x π x r dh/dt + 0 , where r is constant

replace the value of dh/dt in the above equation of ds/dt

ds/ dt = 2 x π x 3.25 x (120/π x (3.25)²

ds/dt = 73.846 ≅ 74inch²/min

Using the midpoint method, find the cross-price elasticity of demand for FedEx and UPS overnight shipping if the price of FedEx
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Cross price elasticity using midpoint method = 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the mid-point method

Cross-price Elasticity of Demand = <u>% change in Quantity demanded of UPS</u>

                                                          % change of price of FedEx

%change in Quantity demanded of UPS

using Mid-point method                          = <u> Q2-Q1           </u>  × 100

                                                                     (Q1+Q2)÷ 2

                                      = <u>1.3-1.2           </u>   × 100

                                        (1.2+1.3)÷2

                                     = <u>0.1      </u> × 100

                                       1.25

                                     = 8%

% change in price of FedEx

using midpoint method    =<u> P2-P1            </u>× 100

                                             (P1+P2)÷ 2

                                          =<u> 75-65           </u>× 100

                                            (65+75)÷2

                                          =<u> 10  </u>   × 100

                                             70

                                          = 14.28%

Cross-price Elasticity of Demand =  8% ÷ 14.28%

using midpoint method                = 0.56

The gold bar has a trapezium cross-sectional area. Gold has a density of 19.3 grams per cm3. Work out the mass of the gold bar.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Mass of gold bar = 13.896 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of gold bar = Area of  trapezium x Length of bar

Length of bar = 16 cm

Area of  trapezium = 2 x Area of triangle + Area of rectangle

Area of triangle = 0.5 x 5 x 3 = 7.5 cm²

2 x Area of triangle = 2 x 7.5 = 15 cm²

Area of rectangle = 6 x 5 = 30 cm²

Area of  trapezium = 15 + 30 = 45 cm²

Volume of gold bar = 45 x 16 = 720 cm³

Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³

Mass of gold bar = 720 x 19.3 = 13896 g = 13.896 kg

Mass of gold bar = 13.896 kg
