6 Many science fiction movies feature animals such as ants, spiders, or apesgrowing to monstrous sizes and threatening defenseless Earthlings. (Ofcourse, they are in the end defeated by the hero and heroine.) Biologists usepower functions as a rough guide to relate body weight and cross-sectionalarea of limbs to length or height. Generally, weight is thought to beproportional to the cube of length, whereas cross-sectional area of limbs isproportional to the square of length. Suppose an ant, having been exposed to"radiation," is enlarged to 300 times its normal length. (Such an event canoccur only in Hollywood fantasy. Radiation is utterly incapable of causing sucha reaction.)(a) By how much will its weight be increased?Its weight is increased by a factor of (300X .(b) By how much will the cross-sectional area of its legs be increased?The cross-sectional area of its legs is increased by a factor of40000X .(c) Pressure on a limb is weight divided by cross-sectional area. By howmuch has the pressure on a leg of the giant ant increased? Note: Thefactor by which pressure increases is given byFactor of increase in weightFactor of increase in areaThe pressure on a leg increases by a factor of 200
