Answer:

The activity of cobalt-60 after 72 hours is 34.895 MBq

Explanation:

A(t) = Ao(0.5)^t/t1/2

A(t) is the activity of cobalt-60 after time t

Ao is the initial activity of cobalt-60 = 35 MBq

t is time taken to reduce in activity = 72 hours = 72/24 = 3 days

t1/2 is the half-life = 0.693 ÷ decay constant = 0.693 ÷ 0.001/day = 693 days

A(72) = 35(0.5)^3/693 = 35 × 0.5^0.00433 = 35 × 0.997 = 34.895 MBq

pshichka [43]
The strength of the fireman in vertical direction will be given by F = m * g. Then, the work done will be given by definition by W = F * d. Substituting the expression of the Force in that of the work, we have that the work will be W = m * g * d. Substituting the given values and assuming that g = 10m / s ^ 2, we have a total work of W = (73) * (10) * (9) = 6570 J
