Imagine we have created layers of ice on the surface of a platform and then propped it up at an angle of 10° with the ground. This makes a ramp 10 ft long from one end to the other. We then place the 5 kg cube at the top of the ramp and let it go. How long will it take for the cube to reach the end of the 10 ft ramp?

Shown below is a waterslide constructed in the late 1800's. This slide was unique for its time due to the fact that a large number of small wheels along its length made friction negligible. Riders rode a small sled down the chute which ended with a horizontal section that caused the sled and rider to skim across the water much like a flat pebble. The chute was 9.76 m high at the top and 54.3 m long. Consider a rider and sled with a combined mass of 82.5 kg. They are pushed off the top of the slide from point A with a speed of 2.20 m/s, and they skim horizontally across the water a distance of 50 m before coming to rest.

Consider a conical water tank with a diameter and height of 8 m and 10 m, respectively. How much work will it require to pump its contents to the top if initially it is half-full?
The awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Cheops was built more than 4500 years ago. Its square base, originally 230 m on a side, covered 13.1 acres, and it was 146 m high, with a mass of about 7×109 kg. (The pyramid’s dimensions are slightly different today due to quarrying and some sagging.) Historians estimate that 20,000 workers spent 20 years to construct it, working 12-hour days, 330 days per year. (a) Calculate the gravitational potential energy stored in the pyramid, given its center of mass is at one-fourth its height. (b) Only a fraction of the workers lifted blocks; most were involved in support services such as building ramps (as shown), bringing food and water, and hauling blocks to the site. Calculate the efficiency of the workers who did the lifting, assuming there were 1000 of them and they consumed food energy at the rate of 300 kcal/h. What does your answer imply about how much of their work went into block-lifting, versus how much work went into friction and lifting and…
A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone (point at the bottom) with height 6 feet and radius 4 feet. The tank is full of water. We pump out water (to a pipe at the top of the tank) until the water level is 3 feet from the bottom. The work W required to do this is given by W = foot-pounds.
