A bucket weighs 3N and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well 80 feet below. The bucket is filled with 20N of water and is pulled up at a rate of 2 ft/s, but water leaks out a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, at a rate of 0.2 N/s. Find the work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well. Draw a picture, label x_i and delta x. Then determine the Reimann Sum that defines the work. Evaluate the integral to determine the total work done.
