An empty bucket weighs lb. It is filled with lb of sand and hoisted straight up a -ft mine shaft at a constant rate. As it rises, sand leaks out of the bucket at a constant rate, so that the bucket holds no sand by the time it reaches the top. At what height (in feet) has the cumulative work done hoisting the bucket reached exactly ft-lb?
