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.
Yes that is correct. We know this because 4.00 x 10 4 Pa is constant. If you have 2.00×10−3m3 then you do the following: (2.00×10^−3)(4.00×10^<span> 4) = </span>8.00×10^−3. That is how you get your answer
