(3 DECIMALS IN FINAL ANSWER PLS)arrow_forwardTwo construction materials industries J&J cement and B&B Bitumen are situated side by side. Each year, B&B bitumen purchases about 501 tonnes of lime kiln dusts produced by J&J cement to use as filler in bitumen at $10/tonne. This avoids B&B Bitumen to purchase 455 tonnes hydrated lime per year for filler materials. The market price of hydrated lime is 40/tonne. What is the annual economic benefit of B&B Bitumen from this industrial symbiotic relationship?(Dont write $ sign. Just write the whole number what you get, dont covert to kilo or million.

In order to grow a record-setting pumpkin, the fruit's mass must increase by an average of 18 kg/day. If we assume that the density of raw pumpkin is approximately 0.50g/cm³ we can convert this to an increase in volume of 1.27ft³/day. If the volume of a spherical pumpkin is increasing at 1.27ft³/day, then how fast is the surface area of the pumpkin changing when the diameter of the pumpkin is 7 ft? Give the answer with two decimal places, and include units.arrow_forward2) a) A container filled with water (p= 1000 kg/m³) sits on a scale. The scale shows a reading of 15.0 N. Afterward, a weight with a mass of 0.2 kg and a volume of 2.35 × 10-5 m³ is submerged in the water without any water spilling out. Neither the weight nor the string it hangs from is in contact with the container or the scale. Refer to the figure on the next page. b) What does the scale show when the weight is freely suspended in the water? c) What does the scale show when the weight is lowered to the bottom of the container?
