- Weight Lifting Brzyckis 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=w1.02780.278n. It applies for up to n=10 repetitions. In this exercise, we consider a weight lifter who bench-presses several repetitions of w=240 pounds. a. What single bench-press weight M corresponds to 5 repetitions of this weight? b. What number of repetitions of this weight corresponds to a single bench press of 278.75 pounds?arrow_forwardStock is removed from a block in two operations. The original thickness of the block is represented by n. The thickness removed by the milling operation is represented by p and the thickness removed by the grinding operation is represented by t. What is the final thickness of the block?arrow_forwardA Precocious Child and Her Blocks A child has 64 blocks that are 1-inch cubes. She wants to arrange the blocks into a solid rectangle h blocks long and w blocks wide. There is a relationship between h and w that is determined by the restriction that all 64 blocks must go into the rectangle. A rectangle h blocks long and w blocks wide uses a total of h X w blocks. Thus, hw = 64. Applying some elementary algebra, we get the relationship that we need: w=64h(2.3) Use a formula to express the perimeter P in terms of h and w. Using Equation 2.3, find a formula that expresses the perimeter P in terms of the height only. How should the child arrange the blocks if she wants the perimeter to be the smallest possible? Do parts b and c again, this time assuming that the child has 60 blocks rather than 64 blocks. In this situation, the relationship between h and w is w = 60/h. Note: Be careful when you do part c. The child will not cut the blocks into piecesarrow_forward
