If you tethered a space station to the earth by a long cable, you could get to space in an elevator that rides up the cable--much simpler and cheaper than riding to space on a rocket. There's one big problem, however: There is no way to create a cable that is long enough. The cable would need to reach 36,000 km upward, to the height where a satellite orbits at the same speed as the earth rotates; a cable this long made of ordinary materials couldn't even support its own weight. Consider a steel cable suspended from a point high above the earth. The stress in the cable is highest at the top; it must support the weight of cable below it. What is the greatest length the cable could have without failing? For the purposes of this problem, you can ignore the variation in gravity near the surface of the earth. Hint: The mass of the cable is the volume of the cable multiplied by the density. The density of steel is 7900 kg/m3.

Atank holds 1000 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in half an hour. the values in the table show the volume v of water remaining in the tank (in gallons) after t minutes.t(min) 5 10 15 20 25 30v(gal) 694 444 250 111 28 0(a) if p is the point (15, 250) on the graph of v, find the slopes of the secant lines pq when q is the point on the graph with t = 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30.(b) estimate the slope of the tangent line at p by averaging the slopes of two secant lines.(c) use a graph of the function to estimate the slope of the tangent line at p. (this slope represents the rate at which the water is flowing from the tank after 15 minutes.)show all steps.
