Chapter 4, Problem 7P
The gravitational attractive force between two bodies with masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance d is given by:
F=G m 1 m 2 d 2
where G is the universal gravitational constant:
G=6.673× 10 – 8(cm 3 g× sec 2)
Write a function definition that takes arguments for the masses of two bodies and the distance between them and that returns the gravitational force. Since you will use the preceding formula, the gravitational force will be in dynes. One dyne equals
(g×cm sec 2)
You should use a globally defined constant for the universal gravitational constant. Embed your function definition in a complete

Since you will use the preceding formula, the gravitational force will be in dynes. One dyne equalsg × cmsec2You should use a globally defined constant for the universal gravitational constant. Embed your function definition in a complete program that computes the gravitational force between two objects given suitable inputs. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes.

Complete the function quarts_to_liters() that has one parameter as a volume in quarts. The function returns the volume converted to liters, given that 1 quart = 0.946353 liters.
Ex: If the input is 69, then the output is:
The number of liters is 65.298
To convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit, the following formula is used, where C = Celsius temperature and F = Fahrenheit temperature:
C = 5/9 * (F-32)
Write a C++ temperature conversion program which does the following:
Write a function called toCelsuis which takes a Fahrenheit temperature as a parameter, and returns the equivalent Celsius temperature:
float toCelsius(float)
Demonstrate that your function works by writing a main() function that prints out a conversion table. It should have Fahrenheit values 60, 61, 62, ... through 80 (21 temperatures in total) and should also have the corresponding Celsius temperatures that your function calculated. So your output should look something like this (with 21 temperature conversions total, I used ... to save space here for most of them):
Welcome to the temperature table!F C60 15.661 16.1... ...80 26.7

- (Statics) A beam’s second moment of inertia, also known as its area moment of inertia, is used to determine its resistance to bending and deflection. For a rectangular beam (see Figure 6.6), the second moment of inertia is given by this formula: Ibh3/12 I is the second moment of inertia (m4). b is the base (m). h is the height (m). a. Using this formula, write a function called beamMoment() that accepts two double- precision numbers as parameters (one for the base and one for the height), calculates the corresponding second moment of inertia, and displays the result. b. Include the function written in Exercise 4a in a working program. Make sure your function is called from main(). Test the function by passing various data to it.arrow_forward(Numerical) Heron’s formula for the area, A, of a triangle with sides of length a, b, and c is A=s(sa)(sb)(sc) where s=(a+b+c)2 Write, test, and execute a function that accepts the values of a, b, and c as parameters from a calling function, and then calculates the values of sand[s(sa)(sb)(sc)]. If this quantity is positive, the function calculates A. If the quantity is negative, a, b, and c do not form a triangle, and the function should set A=1. The value of A should be returned by the function.arrow_forwardIf a year has the digit 7 OR the digit 4 in it, then it is called a “Beautiful year”. For example, 2017, 2014, and 2072 are all beautiful years. If the year has BOTH 4 and 7 in it, then it's an “Amazing year”. For example, the years 2047 and 2074 are amazing years. All other years are “Ugly years”. You need to write a function that takes a year as an argument and return it's type.
