A bucket full of sand has a mass of 20 kg (including the bucket and the sand). The bucket is to be lifted to
the top of a building 15 meters tall by a rope of negligible weight. However, the bucket has a hole in it, and
leaks 0.1 kgs of sand each meter it is lifted.
Find the work done lifting the bucket to the top of the building.
Hint: Force = (mass)(acceleration). For this problem, the force will be a product where a

Many decisions are made on the basis of the payback period: the time it will take through savings to equal the capital cost of an investment. Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. (For some industries, a payback period is as small as two years.) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time. Take the average for the 120 day heating season to be 15.0C.
