Notice that the above sequence is arithmetic because the common difference: d is constant.
d = second term - first term.
= 15 - 9
= 6
The general term of an arithmetic sequence is,
a_{n} =a_{1} +(n-1)d
Where , nth term =
= First term
and d = common difference.
The given sequence is: 9, 15, 21, ...
Here a_{1} = 9,
d = 6
We need to find the 31st term. So, n = 31.
Next step is to plug in these values in the above formula. Therefore,
= 9 + 30* 6
= 9 + 180
= 189
So, 31st term of this sequence is 189.
Hope this helps you.
Answer:
3865.74 J/s
Step-by-step explanation:
mass of ice, m = 1 ton = 1000 kg
time , t = 24 hours
latent heat of fusion of ice, L = 334000 J/kg
Heat required to melt, H = m x L
where, m is the mass of ice and L be the latent heat of fusion
So, H = 1000 x 334000 = 334 xx 10^6 J
Rate of heat transfer = heat / time =
Rate of heat transfer = 3865.74 J/s
thus, the rate of heat transfer is 3865.74 J/s.
