Problem 1.
Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 2 million barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,000,000 barrels remain.
(a) At what rate was the amount of oil in the well decreasing when there were 1,200,000 barrels remaining?
rate =
barrels/year
(b) When will there be 100,000 barrels remaining?
after
years.
It takes 4.0 hrs for a farmer to irrigate a field using a 3.0 inch diameter pipe. How long will it take to irrigate the same field with a 4.0-inch diameter pipe?
How to design a small dam? We've been tasked to do that for our project and we don't know what to do. It is for small-scale dam for agricultural irrigation. I want to know what are the factors to be considered or any relevant information to structurally design a dam.
