Brzycki's formula is used by weight lifters to determine the weight M that is equivalent in a single repetition to n repetitions of a weight w. The formula is M = 1.0278 – 0.0278n It applies for up to n = 10 repetitions. In this exercise we consider a weight lifter who bench-presses several repetitions of w = 285 pounds. (a) What single bench press weight M corresponds to 5 repetitions of this weight? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) M = Ib (b) What number of repetitions n of this weight corresponds to a single bench press of 293.15 pounds? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) n = repetitions

The maximum running speed (S) in km/hr and the corresponding body mass (m) in kg were determined for 55 different species of mammals. An empirical relation was determined to be: S[km/hr] = 5.7 (m[kg])2 . Note: The notation in this equation means, “inserting the mass (m) in units of ‘kg’, automatically calculates the maximum running speed (S) in units of ‘km/hr’. ” (a) What are the implied units for the “5.7” factor? Hint: recall that relations between physical quantities must be dimensionally consistent, and the chosen units must in turn be consistent with the dimensionality. (b) Re-write the equation so that it gives the maximum speed in units of “m/s” for a given body mass in “g”. Show all relevant details. If done correctly, you will need to use at least one unit conversion factor.
Prove 1.) Assume that the population of a certain city increases at a rate proportional to the number of inhabitants that is presently living.

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably more comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h and (b) 1.0 m/s = 2.2 mi/h.
