Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 13P
* Rolling dice Two dice are rolled Macrostates of these dice are distinguished by the total number for each roll (that is, 2, 3, 4..., 12). (a) Determine the number of microstates for each macrostate. For example, there are three microstates for macrostate 4 (2, 2), (3,1), and (1, 3). (b) What is the macrostate with greatest entropy? (c) What is the macrostate with least entropy? Explain.

Problem 2
A rectangular tank that is 88 feet long, 33 feet wide, and 1515 feet tall is filled with a liquid that has a density of p pounds per cubic foot. If a spout is connected to the top of the tank, how much work will it take to pump all of the liquid out of the tank through the spout?
Work= ______
How much work will it take to pump all of the liquid out of the tank through a spout that is T feet above the top of the tank?
Work= _______
Answers should be in terms of p and T.

For each of the following situations:
a. Choose an initial and final state (states A and B) that will be appropriate (interesting) for
analysis.
b. If there is not already a physical diagram of the situation and there should be one for proper
analysis, include one.
c. Construct a system schema of the situation. Do not forget to include the system boundary for
the system specified by the problem. Choose your system wisely.
d. Construct an energy bar chart and system flow diagram (LOL plots) for each problem.
e. You are allowed to add other energy storage modes. You do not have to use the energy
storage modes that are printed in each LOL plot.
f. Find the unknown value.
Is this true or false? Internally, a heap is typically implemented as a BST that has the additional ordering property that the minimum value is at the root (or the maximum value is at the root, if we chose to make the heap to be a max heap).
a. True
b. False
