Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 88E
The Falkirk Wheel in Scotland (Figure 5.17) rotates with the same low energy no matter what the weight of the boats it lifts. What would be different in its operation if, instead of carrying floating boats, it carried scrap metal that doesn't float?

A bucket begins holding 20 kgs of sand. The bucket is to be lifted to the top of a 30 meter tall building by a
rope with density 0.2 kg/m. However, the bucket has a hole in it, and leaks 0.3 kgs of sand each meter it is
lifted.
Find the work done lifting the bucket and rope to the top of the building.
