Strangely, the wine for a large wedding reception is to be served in a stunning cut-glass receptacle with the interior dimensions of 40 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm (height). The receptacle is to be initially filled to the top. The wine can be purchased in bottles of the sizes given in the following table. Purchasing a larger bottle instead of multiple smaller bottles decreases the overall cost of the wine. To minimize the cost, (a) which bottle sizes should be purchased and how many of each should be purchased and, once the receptacle is filled, how much wine is left over in terms of (b) standard bottles and (c) liters?
1 standard bottle
1 magnum = 2 standard bottles
1 jeroboam = 4 standard bottles
1 rehoboam = 6 standard bottles
1 methuselah = 8 standard bottles
1 salmanazar = 12 standard bottles
1 balthazar = 16 standard bottles = 11.356 L
1 nebuchadnezzar = 20 standard bottles

- There are three cylindrical vases on the table, none of them is taller than 40 cm. The firstvase can be filled with 2 dl of water, the second one with 3 dl, and the third with more than 6 dl water. The area of the cross section of the first vase is 10 cm^2, the area of the cross section of the other two vases is 20 cm^2. There is the same amount (volume) of water in each vase. It can be observed that if a specific tuning fork is placed just above the vases, its sound is getting louder. The width of the bottom of each vase is 1 cm, the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, and the frequency of the tuning fork is less than 1 kHz. a) What is the volume of water in the vases? b) What is the frequency of the tuning fork? c) What is the height of the third vase?arrow_forwardThe karat is a dimensionless unit that is used to indicate the proportion of gold in a goldcontaining alloy. An alloy that is one karat gold contains a weight of pure gold that is one part in twenty-four.

If a force of 9 N is applied to the syringe, what is the force produced at the tip of the needle?arrow_forwardA traditional lampshade is a truncated cone, or frustum. It is a cone that is missing the pointed end. The lampshade shown below has a large diameter of 18 inches, a small diameter of 10 inches, and a height of 10 inches. If it had the pointed end, it would be 22.5 inches tall. What is the exact volume of the lampshade?arrow_forwardGrains of fine California beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of 50 m and are made of silicon dioxide, which has a density of 2600 kg/m3.What mass of sand grains would have a total surface area (the total area of all the individual spheres) equal to the surface area of a cube 1.00 m on an edge?arrow_forward
