Chapter 4, Problem 8P
The reduction of the amount of medication in the body can be modeled by the equation A = A0ekt, where A is the amount at time t, A0is the amount at t = 0, and k is the decay constant (k <0 ). The half-life time of a certain medication is 3.5 h. A person takes 400 mg of the medication at 10, and then additional 400 mg every 4 h. Determine the amount of the medication in a patient’s body 23 h after taking the first dose.|
After determining the value of k. define a

Proton beam radiotherapy for cancer takes advantage of the fact that the rate of energy
deposition increases as the protons slow down, as the inverse of the velocity. A typical
treatment may address a cancer that lies under 150 mm of healthy tissue. 160 MeV protons
will penetrate the healthy tissue depositing little energy and doing little damage. Then they
come to a halt in the next 20 mm depositing the bulk of their energy there and doing enough
damage to kill the cancer. If the protons lose half their kinetic energy in the cancer, and a
sufficient dose is three Grays, calculate:
i) The required power incident on the cancer to perform the treatment of a 20 mm cancer
in five minutes.
ii) The required beam current.
