Spaceman Spiff is exploring the surface of hostile alien planet. Using his special space-thermometer he is able to stay away from areas that are so hot they'd melt him into a pink-colored jelly and also away from the areas that are so cold they'd turn him into a frozen Spiff-cicle. The space-thermometer tells Spiff that if he is at the point (0,0), then the temperature at point (x,y) is given by:

Example 4 (Calculator Active): For 0 ≤s ≤ 5000, the total amount a local college spends on printing is related to the number of students enrolled at the school and is modeled by C(s) = 70-32 cos (2000) where s is the number of students enrolled at the college and C is the total cost of printing, in thousands of dollars. At what rate is the total cost of printing changing, in dollars per student, when 2500 students are enrolled at the college?
A thin bar of length L = 3 meters is situated along the x axis so that one end is at x = 0 and the other end is at x = 3. The thermal diffusivity of the bar is k = 0.4. The bar's initial temperature f(x) = 50 degrees Celsius. The ends of the bar (x = 0 and x = 3) are then put in %3D an icy bath and kept at a constant 0 degrees C. Let u(x, t) be the temperature in the bar at x at time t, with t measured in seconds. Find u(x, t) and then U7 (2, 0.1). Put u (2, 0.1) calculated accurately to the nearest thousandth (3 decimal places) in the answer box.
Set 2: A pork roast was taken out of a hardwood smoker when its internal temperature had reached 180 degrees Fahrenheit and it was allowed to rest in a 75 degrees Fahrenheit house for 20 minutes after which its internal temperature had dropped to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. We will assume the temperature of the roast follows Newton's Law of Cooling, T(t) = Ta +(To-Ta)e-kt, where To is the inital temperature, Ta is the ambient temperature, and k is a decay constant. ("Ambient temperature" means the temperature of the space the object is in.) (a) Find the values of To and Ta for this problem. (b) Find the value of k for this problem. Then write down the function T(t) which gives the temper- ature of the pork roast in degrees Fahrenheit as a function of time t in minutes. (c) Find the time at which the roast dropped to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Deriving Snell's Law from an Optimization Problem Refraction is a physical phenomenon that happens when light, or more generally a wave, passes through two different mediums. In this problem, we consider two mediums separated by an horizontal line of length d (for example, this line could separate the water in a pool and the air above it). A photon is emitted from a source placed at a point A and detected at a point B. See Figure 1 for the placement of A and B. First Medium A h₁ d Second Medium B Figure 1: Photon emission and detection points. The speeds of the photon in the first and second medium are v₁ and #2, respectively. The refraction indexes are defined as n₁and n₂ = where c is the speed of light in vacuum. Assuming that the photon travels on the fastest path from A to B, prove Snell's law of refraction sin 01 ปา sin 02 v2 where 01 and 02 are the angles defined in Figure 2.
