Suppose you are given the power to reshape the Earth. While maintaining total surface area, construct a new planet whose distances may be accurately represented on a flat map. (Hint: The previous obstruction was the curvature of the sphere. Create an object whose curvature is no longer distorted when mapping to the plane.)

Expert Solution

When you project the spherical surface on a 2 dimensional surface the distance measured between two points on surface of sphere and projection is not same .

As per question, we need to select the shape of earth such that the distance between two points on that surface is same as the distance between two points on projection.

For example of you have A4 size ( you can take any dimension ) and roll it to form a cylinder . So the Paper before folding would be the projection and the cylinder would be the earth shape.

If you have any doubt feel free to drop comment!!

Multivariable Calculus: Surface Area and Change of Variables Find the surface area of the surface given by z =18−2x−3y over the triangle with vertices: (0,0), (2,3), (4,1). Since this is not a type I or type II region, you will either need to divide the region into two regions or use a change of variables. x=(1/5)(u-2v) and y=(1/10)(3u-v) is a possible change of variables.

When a sample of MegaCaff that weighs 0.5 g and has a total surface area of 0.25 m2 was dissolved in water for 2 minutes, the dissolution rate constant (k) was found to be 0.01 cm/min. The saturation solubility is known to be 3.2 x 10-3 g/mL. If the material is now pressed into a tablet with surface area 2.0 cm2, what will be the effect on the dissolution rate (dM/dt) and the dissolution rate constant (k)?
