Answer:
3400 ft-lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
The Workdone in lifting the rope :
Number of feet = x
Distance = 25 feets
2.5x + 35
Taking the integral :
∫2.5x + 35 dx at x = 40
Integrating, we have :
1/2(2.5x² ) + 35x at x = 40
1/2(2.5(40)²) + 35(40)
1/2(4000) + 1400
2000 + 1400
= 3400
Hence, Workdone in lifting the rope = 3400 ft-lbs
