Chapter 17, Problem 5RQ

Your company wishes to write a computer program that will calculate the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by a specified number of degrees. The company also wishes to know who ran the program and on what day of the week they ran it.

You are to write this program. Your program must allow the user to enter the following:

• The user’s name using a dialog box
• Since the program will only be run either on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, restrict the day of the week to these selections using a question dialog
• The mass of the substance in units of grams
• The specific heat of the substance in units of J/(kg K)
• The initial temperature of the substance in units of degrees Fahrenheit
• The final temperature of the substance in units of degrees Fahrenheit

Your program should output the following formatted sentence:

On YYYY, the user XXXX entered a ZZ.ZZ gram mass with a specific heat of AA.AA J/ (kg K) that should be raised from BB.B degrees Fahrenheit to cc .c degrees Fahrenheit.

This should require DD.D J of heat to be added to the substance.

Where:

• XXXX – User name
• YYYY – Day of the week
• ZZ.ZZ – Mass of the substance
• AA.AA – Specific heat of the substance
• BB.BB – Initial temperature
• CC.C – Final temperature
• DD.D – Required heat input
