the V•O2max of people tends to declineafter age 30 by about 9% per decade for sedentary individuals,but it declines less than 5% per decade for people who stay active.The average V•O2max in healthy 30-year-olds is about 3.1 L/min.Using the information given here, what would the average V•O2maxbe in 60-year-olds who have been sedentary throughout theirlives and in 60-year-olds who have stayed active (keep in mindthat the decline is exponential)?

From the average of these values, determine the maximum number of hours you could work with this material in a year if the annual maximum permissible dose is 2.4 mSv and you count with 200 working days in a year

A worker will need to conduct a repair to a pipe containing radioactive waste. The pipe is 10 m long, and the worker will need to be standing 50 cm from the pipe. A remote detector was used to take a reading of 1.5 R/hr at 3 m from the pipe. a) What is the dose rate at the work position? b) If the worker's dose limit is 30 rad, how long will he have to complete the work? Assume that there is no dose from approaching and leaving the work location.
