Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 20E
Look up G, c, and the mass of the Sun in Appendix E and calculate the radius of a black hole that has the same mass as the Sun. (Note that this is only a theoretical calculation. The Sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole.)

The iceberg requires 7.4 x 1020 Joules of energy to melt it completely. It absorbs energy from the Sun at a constant average rate of 88 Watts/m2. The total surface area of iceberg exposed to the sunlight is 12 billion (1.2 x 1010) square meters.
How long will it take for sunlight to melt the entire iceberg in years
1.0 kg block of ice to melt in the kitchen. The temperature in the kitchen is 31 °C. The ice starts out at 0 °C and takes an hour to melt and reach the same temperature as the surrounding room (31 °C). How much heat does the 1.0 kg of ice/water absorb from the room as it melts and heats up to 31 °C in Joules absorbed?
Latent heat of fusion for water/ice is 334,000 J/kg
Specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg°C

form, massive rope is μ, what fraction of the rope can hang over the
edge of the table without the rope sliding?

3w, slides down an inclined plane
S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant
speed while plank B, with weight
w, rests on top of A. The plank
is attached by a cord to the wall
(Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram
