Problem:

Bottom of bucket 8 in diam

Top of bucket 12 in diam

Bucket height 10 in

4.5 in water in bucket

Questions (hardest to easiest):

How many inches of rainfall recorded?

(How many cubic inches of water in bucket?)

(How many cubic inches of water if full)?

Exact answers nearly impossible.  Good estimates requested, the better the better.

Is the graph just drawn increasing or decreasing?

Is the graph

• increasing at an increasing rate
• increasing at a decreasing rate
• increasing at a constant rate
• decreasing at an increasing rate
• decreasing at a decreasing rate
• decreasing at a constant rate

Majority opinion:  The graph is increasing at a decreasing rate.

So according to this opinion we would say that pendulum period is increasing at a decreasing rate with respect to length.

Sketch a graph of water level vs. clock time.

y = 0.2997 * x^0.4354

Period = .3 * length ^ .44

For homework:  Complete as many problems on the worksheets as you can but don’t spend any more than three hours on the assignment.  Record how long it took you and which problems you got done.  There are three problem sets: 

• Rates
• Flows
• Areas Volumes etc.

A few of the later problems don’t yet have the necessary pictures and can be skipped for now.
