One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose the house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, then by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the single story house to be of dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors.
Object A is placed in thermal contact with a very large object B of unknown temperature. Objects A and B are allowed to reach thermal equilibrium; object Bs temperature does not change due to its comparative size. Object A is removed from thermal contact with B and placed in thermal contact with another object C at a temperature of 40C. Objects A and C are of comparable size. The temperature of C is observed to be unchanged. What is the temperature of object B?
