Occasionally, huge icebergs are found floating on the ocean's currents. Suppose one such iceberg is 124 km long, 41.5 km wide, and 217 m thick.

(a) How much heat in joules would be required to melt this iceberg (assumed to be at 0°C) into liquid water at 0°C? The density of ice is 917 kg/m³ and the latent heat of fusion is 334 kJ/kg.

(b) The annual energy consumption for Australia in the 2017-2018 financial year was 6.172×10¹⁸ J. If this energy was delivered to the iceberg every year, how many years would it take before the ice melted?

Do this one by hand. Suppose we measured the height of 5,000 men and found that the data were normally distributed with a mean of 70.0 inches and a standard deviation of 4.0 inches. Answer the questions using Table A and show your work: What proportion of men can be expected to have heights Less than 75 inches?
