A circular section of lawn on a golf course needs to be watered with 2 inches of water per week. If the circle is 100 feet in diameter, how many gallons of water per week are needed?
Unreasonable Results - A slightly deranged Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on. (a) If 80% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into “waste heat” in a car engine, how many kilograms of 0C ice could it melt? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? (c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?
