To minimize neutron leakage from a reactor, the ratio of the surface area to the volume should be a minimum. For a given volume V the ratio of the sphere will be .
We know that the surface area and volume of the sphere is given by:
Therefore, the ratio between the surface area and the volume for the sphere will be:
Equating the volume to the constant c, we will find the value of .
Substituting the value of r in the ration between surface area and volume, we get:
Calculating the constants, we get:
Hence, the ration between surface area and volume is

Answer:
, where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.
Explanation:
a)
Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:
We can write that:
These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.
So we have that:
b)
Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is , so we have:
Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:
