Concept explainers
To maintain one’s body weight, an adult human needs to consume enough calories daily to (1) meet the basal metabolic rate (energy required to breathe, maintain body temperature, etc.), (2) account for physical activity such as exercise, and (3) account for the energy required to digest the food that is being eaten. For an adult that weighs P pounds, we can estimate these caloric requirements using the following formulas:
A. Basal metabolic rate: Calories required = 70 * (P/ 2.2)0.756
B. Physical activity: Calories required = 0.0385 * Intensity * P * Minutes
Here, Minutes is the number of minutes spent during the physical activity, and Intensity is a number that estimates the intensity of the activity. Here are some sample numbers for the range of values:
Running 10 mph: | 17 |
Running 6 mph: | 10 |
Basketball: | 8 |
Walking 1 mph: | 1 |
C. Energy to digest food: calories required = TotalCaloriesConsumed * 0.1
In other words, 10 percent of the calories we consume goes towards digestion.
Write a function that computes the calories required for the basal metabolic rate, taking as input a parameter for the person’s weight. Write another function that computes the calories required for physical activity, taking as input parameters for the intensity, weight, and minutes spent exercising.
Use these functions in a program that inputs a person’s weight, an estimate for the intensity of physical activity, the number of minutes spent performing the physical activity, and the number of calories in one serving of your favorite food. The program should then calculate and output how many servings of that food should be eaten per day to maintain the person’s current weight at the specified activity level. The computation should include the energy that is required to digest food.
You can find estimates of the caloric content of many foods on the Web. For example, a double cheeseburger has approximately 1000 calories.

- (Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft). Eisthemodulesofelasticity( lbs/f t 2 ).Iisthesecondmomentofinertia( f t 4 ). For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward(Thermodynamics) The work, W, performed by a single piston in an engine can be determined by this formula: W=Fd F is the force provided by the piston in Newtons. d is the distance the piston moves in meters. a. Determine the units of W by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for work listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the work performed by a piston that provides a force of 1000 N over a distance of 15 centimeters.arrow_forward(Heat transfer) The formula developed in Exercise 5 can be used to determine the cooling time, t, caused only by radiation, of each planet in the solar system. For convenience, this formula is repeated here (see Exercise 5 for a definition of each symbol): t=Nk2eAT3fin A=surfaceareaofasphere=4r2 N=numberofatoms=volumeofthespherevolumeofanatom Volume of a sphere sphere=43radius3 The volume of a single atom is approximately 11029m3 . Using this information and the current temperatures and radii listed in the following chart, determine the time it took each planet to cool to its current temperature, caused only by radiation.arrow_forward

A common approach for determining this information is to use ESAL values; one ESAL is the load a single 18,000-lb (80,000 N) single-axle truck applies to the road’s surface. The ESAL value for any single-axle vehicle can be approximated by this formula: ESAL=[W18,000]4 ESAL is the equivalent single-axle load. W is the vehicle’s weight (lbs). Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines ESAL values and use it to complete the following chart. The ESAL values should be output in a field width of 10, with six digits after the decimal point.arrow_forward

Reads from the user 2 integer values a and b represent the coordinates of the center of the circle, c. Reads from the user a real value r represents the radius of the circle, d. Calculates and prints the distance d (rounded to 2 decimal places) between the point p and the center of the circle, and e. Checks and prints whether the point is inside, on or outside the circle. NOTE: if the radius value is negative, an error message should be shown.

In solving this problem, we assume that an investor buys several shares of stock at a certain price. These shares are going to be sold later on for a different price. Obviously, if the selling price is higher than the acquisition price, the investor makes a profit, registering capital gain. If the shares are sold at a lower price, the investor has a loss, which marks a negative capital gain. This whole process is done over a period of time, and you are required to create a scenario for buying and selling shares. The assumption is that the investor sells shares in the order in which they were purchased. The goal is to calculate the capital gain over time. Suppose that you buy n shares of stock or mutual fund for d dollars each. Later, you sell some of these shares. If the sale price exceeds the purchase price, you have made a profit—a capital gain. On the other…arrow_forward
- The Harris-Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintainyour weight if you do no exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR.The formula for the calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight isBMR = 655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) -(4.7 x age in years)The formula for the calories needed for a man to maintain his weight isBMR = 66 + (6.3 x weight in pounds) + (12.9 x height in inches) -(6.8 x age in years)A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories. Write a program that allows the userto input his or her weight in pounds, height in inches, age in years, and the character M formale and F for female. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars thatshould be consumed to maintain one's weight for the appropriate sex of the specified weight,height, and age.arrow_forwardPLEASE CODE IN PYTHON Problem Description:In order to ensure peace and prosperity for future generations, the United Nations is creating the world’s largest candy. The ingredients must be taken in railway cars from the top of a mountain and poured into Lake Geneva. The railway system goes steeply from the mountaintop down to the lake, with a T-shaped branch in the middle as shown below. Right now, each of the N ingredients is in its own railway car. Each railway car is assigned a positive integer from 1 to N. The ingredients must be poured into the lake in the order 1, 2, 3, . . . , N but the railway cars are lined up in some random order. The difficulty is that, because of the especially heavy gravity today, you can only move cars downhill to the lake, or sideways on the branch line. Is it still possible to pour the ingredients into the lake in the order 1, 2, 3, . . . , N ? For example, if the cars were in the order 2, 3, 1, 4, we can slide these into the lake in order as described…arrow_forwardOutput for Sample Input 1 3+ Copyarrow_forward
