If you used only a keyboard to enter data, how many years would it take to fill up the hard drive in your computer that can store 95gigabytes95gigabytes (95×109bytes95×109bytes) of data? Assume "normal" eight-hour working days, and that one byte is required to store one keyboard character, and that you can type 180 characters per minute.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
Two types of barrel units were in use in the 1920s in the United States.The apple barrel had a legally set volume of 7056 cubic inches; the cranberry barrel, 5826 cubic inches. If a merchant sells 20 cranberry barrels of goods to a customer who thinks he is receiving apple barrels, what is the discrepancy in the shipment volume in liters?
the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?

One of the most commonly used units of mass density is gram per cubic centimeter, or g/cc. This is because pure water has a mass density of 1 g/cc. It turns out that 1 mL of liquid is equal to 1 cc of volume. So it is also possible to express the mass density of water as 1 g/mL. This makes water a useful tool since it is possible to use graduated cylinders to measure volumes.An object with a mass of 61.0 g displaces 785.0 ml of water when it is completely immersed. What is the buoyant force on the mass? (Use g = 9.8 N/kg as necessary.)arrow_forwardIn purchasing food for a political rally, you erroneously order shucked medium-size Pacific oysters (which come 8 to 12 per U.S. pint) instead of shucked medium-size Atlantic oysters (which come 26 to 38 per U.S. pint).The filled oyster container shipped to you has the interior measure of 1.0 m * 12 cm * 20 cm, and a U.S. pint is equivalent to 0.4732 liter. By how many oysters is the order short of your anticipated count?arrow_forward
- Physical units in mechanics are usually some combination of the dimensions time T, mass M, and length L. Consider the physical quantities m, r, u, a, and t with dimensions [m] = M, [r] = L, [u] = LT-, [a] = LT-2, and [1] = T. Enter the dimensional expression of the quantity on the right-hand side of each equation. Your answers may contain only M, L, T, and exponents. Assume that each of the following equations is dimensionally consistent. Lo = mur [Lo] = W = mar [W] = Tarrow_forwardA hopskip is a (fictional) unit of length equal to 1.5 meters (1 hs = 1.5 m).
