Answer:

& 
Explanation:
Given:
- interior temperature of box,

- height of the walls of box,

- thickness of each layer of bi-layered plywood,

- thermal conductivity of plywood,

- thickness of sandwiched Styrofoam,

- thermal conductivity of Styrofoam,

- exterior temperature,

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction:</u>

....................................(1)
<u>Now calculating the equivalent thermal resistance for conductivity using electrical analogy:</u>




.....................(2)
Putting the value from (2) into (1):


is the heat per unit area of the wall.
The heat flux remains constant because the area is constant.
<u>For plywood-Styrofoam interface from inside:</u>



&<u>For Styrofoam-plywood interface from inside:</u>



First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
Answer:
B. QC > 0; QH < 0
Explanation:
Given that there are two reservoir of energy.
Sign convention for heat and work :
1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.
2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.
From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

That is why the answer will be
,
