While an astronomy professor, you discover a binary star system in which the two stars are in circular orbits about the system's center of mass. from their color and brightness, you determine that each star has the same mass as our sun. the orbital period of the pair is 21.3days , based on the oscillation of brightness observed as one star occludes (hides) the other. from this information you are able to ascertain the distance between the stars.

Aleaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 15 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.7 kg/m. initially the bucket contains 45 kg of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the 15-m level. find the work done. (use 9.8 m/s2 for g.) show how to approximate the required work by a riemann sum. (let x be the height in meters above the ground. enter xi* as xi.) lim n → ∞ n (9.8)(45−3 xi) i = 1 δx express the work as an integral. 0 dx evaluate the integral. (round your answer to the nearest integer.) j
