Other than finding the intial xy coordinates and knowing gravity as a factor I am not sure where to go with this problem as the formulas I have deal with final angles and not initial. The problem follows: Two spheres of mass 1kg & 1.5Kg hang @ rest at the ends of strings that are both 1.5m...

First, the depth of the well was meters, not feet. Second, I'm still not sure if I'm heading in the right direction. If water is 1 kg per liter, the work= F dx, and F= ma...then W= (1kg)(9.8 m/s sq.)(20m) = 196 J for each liter rased from the well. correct? If power is W/ dt, and I let the...

here is the question...water w/ density 1.0 X 10 (3) kg/m cubed, a well 20 feet deep, and a horse worked for 8 hours. How many liters of water did the horse raise from the well? I am ok in unit conversions, but I need help in figuring out steps in solving this problem.
