Question

To determine the size of the motor required to operate a press, a company must know the amount of work done when the press moves an object linearly 5 feet. The variable force to move the object is
F(x) = 100x√ 125 - x³,
where F is given in pounds and x gives the position of the unit in feet. Use Simpson's Rule with n = 12 to approximate the work W (in foot-pounds) done through one cycle when
-W = ∫F(x) dx.
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
