Chapter 3, Problem 6P
Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float. Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the submerged object. The buoyant force can be computed by
F b=V× y
where Fb is the buoyant force, V is the volume of the submerged object, and y is the specific weight of the fluid. If Fb is greater than or equal to the weight of the object, then it will float, otherwise it will sink.

A standard science experiment is to drop a ball and see how high it bounces. Once the “bounciness” of the ball has been determined, the ratio gives a bounciness index. For example, if a ball dropped from a height of 10 feet bounces 6 feet high, the index is 0.6 and the total distance traveled by the ball is 16 feet after one bounce. If the ball were to continue bouncing, the distance after two bounces would be 10 ft + 6 ft + 6 ft + 3.6 ft = 25.6 ft. Note that distance traveled for each successive bounce is the distance to the floor plus 0.6 of that distance as the ball comes back up. Write a program that lets the user enter the initial height of the ball and the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing. Output should be the total distance traveled by the ball.
Please name your function "bounce" that has three arguments (initial height, index, number of bounce) and return the total distance traveled by the ball. (float) Skip the part where users can enter the inputs of…

- The Harris-Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain your weight if you do no exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR. The calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is: WBMR = 655 + (4.3 × weight in pounds) + (4.7 × height in inches) − (4.7× age in years) The calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is: MBMR = 66 + (6.3 × weight in pounds) + (12.9 × height in inches) − (6.8 × age in years) A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories. Write a java program that allows the user to input his or her weight in pounds, height in inches, and age in years. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars that should be consumed to maintain one’s weight for both a woman and a man of the input weight, height, and age.
