Chapter 17, Problem 5RQ
Your company wishes to write a computer program that will calculate the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by a specified number of degrees. The company also wishes to know who ran the program and on what day of the week they ran it.
You are to write this program. Your program must allow the user to enter the following:
- The user’s name using a dialog box
- Since the program will only be run either on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, restrict the day of the week to these selections using a question dialog
- The mass of the substance in units of grams
- The specific heat of the substance in units of J/(kg K)
- The initial temperature of the substance in units of degrees Fahrenheit
- The final temperature of the substance in units of degrees Fahrenheit
Your program should output the following formatted sentence:
On YYYY, the user XXXX entered a ZZ.ZZ gram mass with a specific heat of AA.AA J/ (kg K) that should be raised from BB.B degrees Fahrenheit to cc .c degrees Fahrenheit.
This should require DD.D J of heat to be added to the substance.
Where:
- XXXX – User name
- YYYY – Day of the week
- ZZ.ZZ – Mass of the substance
- AA.AA – Specific heat of the substance
- BB.BB – Initial temperature
- CC.C – Final temperature
- DD.D – Required heat input

7. Calculate the specific heat of a substance in BTU/lbm-ºR if 17.8 pounds can raise its temperature from 71.4 ºF to 118.5ºF in a period of 1.12 minutes. The computed amount of heat applied to it is 4.79 HP.
Hi, I need help with the first part of the problem below because I'm very confused about how P1 and P2 should be calculated. If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon?

Hi. I am trying to practice this problem using a checker online, but everytime I recalculate my answer it always says it's incorrect. So far I have calculated and tried to input the following values: 1 hp, 1.01 hp, and 0.8 hp but it always keeps saying they are incorrect. Am I missing a sign change? (Should the answer be negative?) Or am I solving this incorrectly and getting the wrong value each time? Please help show me the correct steps on how to get the correct answer as I am trying to learn this process. Thank you!
