Answer
given,
firm is producing = 2,475 units
output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour
25 units of capital R = $10 per hour
marginal product of labor = 40
marginal product of capital = 25
Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.
Answer:
1.84 kJ (kilojoules)
Explanation:
A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.
If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:
Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)
Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C - 20° C)
[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]
Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ
[Note that the number is positive: Energy is added to the system. If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C). The number is -1.84 kJ: the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).
A force of 43.8 N is required to stretch the spring a distance of 15.5 cm = 0.155 m, so the spring constant <em>k</em> is
43.8 N = <em>k</em> (0.155 m) ==> <em>k</em> = (43.8 N) / (0.155 m) ≈ 283 N/m
The total work done on the spring to stretch it to 15.5 cm from equilibrium is
1/2 (283 N/m) (0.155 m)² ≈ 3.39 J
The total work needed to stretch the spring to 15.5 cm + 10.4 cm = 25.9 cm = 0.259 m from equilibrium would be
1/2 (283 N/m) (0.259 m)² ≈ 9.48 J
Then the additional work needed to stretch the spring 10.4 cm further is the difference, about 6.08 J.
