Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en
1 answer:
Let's call this "certain amount" with a variable, x, (since it's not specified in the question, I will assume that the answer shall just be based on this variable).
So every additional floor will make the building sink by x, and let's make the unit cm, so x cm.
Now we know that the maximum depression is 20 cm, and it is also
x*y, where y is the number of floors.
So we have x*y=20,
therefore the number of floors is:
20/x or

Answer:
a) Yes, there are shakes in a second (
) in a year there are 31,536,000 seconds... that is 3.1536x

b) Note that the defined universe day will have 60*60*24=86400 universe seconds if the seconds are defined as normal seconds.
Also one universe day (or 86400 universe seconds) is equivalent to 1010 years. Now using a rule of three we can know the seconds that humans have existed.
That is about 2 and half hours.
