Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 7PP
In cold weather, meteorologists report an index called the wind chill factor, which takes into account the wind speed and the temperature. The index provides a measure of the chilling effect of wind at a given air temperature. Wind chill may be approximated by the following formula:
v = wind speed in m/sec
t = temperature in degrees Celsius:
W = wind chill index (in degrees Celsius)
Write a function that returns the wind chill index. Your code should ensure that the restriction on the temperature is not violated. Look up some weather reports in back issues of a newspaper or from a weather website and compare the wind chill index you calculate with the result reported or website.

The Harris-Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain your weight if you do no exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR.
The calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is:
WBMR = 655 + (4.3 × weight in pounds) + (4.7 × height in inches) − (4.7× age in years)
The calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is:
MBMR = 66 + (6.3 × weight in pounds) + (12.9 × height in inches) − (6.8 × age in years)
A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories.
Write a java program that allows the user to input his or her weight in pounds, height in inches, and age in years. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars that should be consumed to maintain one’s weight for both a woman and a man of the input weight, height, and age.
NOTE: This is an application of a selection statement!

Use a named constant for the number of calories in a “typical chocolate bar.”

Context: Measuring Air Quality
Levels of various air borne pollutants such as Nitrogen Monoxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (also called particle pollution) are all major contributors to the measure of overall air quality.
For instance, NO2 is measured using micrograms in each cubic metre of air (㎍/m3). A microgram (㎍) is one millionth of a gram. A concentration of 1 ㎍/m3 means that one cubic metre of air contains one microgram of pollutant.
To protect our health, the UK Government sets two air quality objectives for NO2 in their Air Quality Strategy
The hourly objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of one hour.
The annual objective, which is the concentration of NO2 in the air, averaged over a period of a year.
The following table shows the colour encoding and the levels for Objective 1 above, the mean hourly ratio, adopted in the UK.

A common approach for determining this information is to use ESAL values; one ESAL is the load a single 18,000-lb (80,000 N) single-axle truck applies to the road’s surface. The ESAL value for any single-axle vehicle can be approximated by this formula: ESAL=[W18,000]4 ESAL is the equivalent single-axle load. W is the vehicle’s weight (lbs). Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines ESAL values and use it to complete the following chart. The ESAL values should be output in a field width of 10, with six digits after the decimal point.arrow_forward
- When you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forward(Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft).

For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward(Heat transfer) The formula developed in Exercise 5 can be used to determine the cooling time, t, caused only by radiation, of each planet in the solar system.

It involves counting the total number of cells present including those actively dividing or those in interphase, the total number of cells that are actively dividing (not including interphase), and then calculating what percentage of the total cells are actively dividing (the percentage undergoing mitosis). The formula is: Mitotic index= # of cells in mitosis / # of cells in total x 100% Use this formula to calculate the mitotic index for the diagram seen in Question 5. Show your calculations (you can use * for multiplication and / for division if you prefer) and indicate your final answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage (1 decimal place). Note: The mitotic index seen in this simulation is much higher than you would see in a real tissue sample.
