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_forwardA syringe has an area of 9 cm2 in the barrel of the syringe and then narrows down to an area of 0.31 mm2 at the needle end.
