Show how to approximate the required work by a Riemann sum. Then express the work as an integral and evaluate it. A thick cable, 60 ft long and weighing 180 lb, hangs from a winch on a crane. Compute in two different ways the work done if the winch winds up 25 ft of the cable. (a) Follow the method of Example 4. (b) Write a function for the weight of the remaining cable after x feet has been wound up by the winch. Estimate the amount of work done when the winch pulls up Dx ft of cable.
