A swimming pool is round, full of contaminated water, and has an 11 foot radius. It is 11 feet tall and has 4 feet of water in it. How much work is required to remove all of the contaminated water by pumping it over the side? (Use the physical definition of work, and the fact that the weight of the contaminated water isσ=63.2lbs/ft3 )

Sewage at a certain pumping station is raised vertically by 5.49 m at the rate of 1 890 000 liters each day. The sewage, of density 1 050 kg/m3, enters and leaves the pump at atmospheric pressure and through pipes of equal diameter. (a) Find the output mechanical power of the lift station. (b) Assume an electric motor continuously operating with average power 5.90 kW runs the pump. Find its efficiency.
When jogging at 13 km/h on a level surface, a 70-kg man uses energy at a rate of approximately 850 W. Using the facts that the “human engine” is approximately 25 efficient, determine the rate at which this man uses energy when jogging up a 5.0 slope at this same speed. Assume that the frictional retarding force is the same in both cases.
