Suppose that Federal Reserve policy leads to higher interest rates in United States
a. How will this policy affect real GDP in short run if the United States is a closed economy (no exports and imports)?
b. How will this policy affect real GDP in short run if the United States is an open economy?
c. How will your answer to part b change if interest rates also rise in the other countries around the world?

On a particular summer day, the temperature is 30 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity is 80% (which means that the partial pressure of water vapor in the ambient air is 80% of the equilibrium vapor pressure of water). A sample of this air is placed in a 1 Liter flask which is then closed and cooled to 5 degrees Celsius. What is the mass in grams of water that still exists as vapor in the flask? How much liquid water in grams condenses out?

A closed rectangular tank 1.2 m high, 2.4 m long and 1.5 m wide is two-thirds full of gasoline (specic gravity 0.8). Calculate the acceleration which may be imparted to the tank so that the bottom front end of the tank is just exposed. Also calculate the total forces on each end of the tank and show that the dierence between these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate the liquid mass in the tank.

1. Find the derivative.
f(x) = x6 · 3x
2. Find the absolute maximum and minimum values on the closed interval [-1,8] for the function below. If a maximum or minimum value does not exist, enter NONE.
f(x) = 1 − x2/3
3. Find the derivative.
f(x) = x5 · e6x
Consider the following.
f(x) = -19ln(84x)
Compute f '(x), then find the exact value of f ' (3).

Five kg of oxygen (O2), initially at 430°C, fills a closed,
rigid tank. Heat transfer from the oxygen occurs at the rate 425 W
for 10 minutes. Assuming the ideal gas model with k
= 1.350 for the oxygen, determine its final temperature, in
°C.
Can't seem to find the right equations to use for this one, so I'm getting pretty stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated

At 22°C, Kp = 0.070 for the equilibrium:
NH4HS (s) NH3 (g) + H2S (g)
a) A sample of solid NH4HS is placed in a closed vessel and allowed to equilibrate. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure (atm) of ammonia, assuming that some solid NH4HS remains.
b) After the equilibrium in part a) was established, the reaction flask is then charged with an additional 0.59 atm of NH3. When the system has equilibrated, what is the partial pressure of hydrogen sulfide?

A wire bent with two right angles (forming a u-shape) sits in the xy-plane. The closed end (where the right angles are) is on the x-axis. The sides parallel to the y-axis run in the -y direction. A movable wire, parallel to the x-axis but not on the x-axis at any time, moves in the +y direction. If a magnetic field going in the -z direction baths the circuit, what is the direction of the induced current in the movable wire?

Suppose you are invested in an (excellent) account that pays 50% interest per year, paid monthly. The account is closed to new investment, so you cannot reinvest the interest. Do you prefer this account to one that pays a single payment of 50% at the end of the year, rather than monthly? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning (you may wish to reference ideas like compounding, NPV, IRR, etc.)

2 NH3 (g) + 2 H2O (g) = 2 NO (g) + 5 H2 (g)
When 12.0 grams of ammonia; 16.0 grams of water; and 20 grams of NO (g) are put into a closed, expandable container kept at 160 oC, 1.0 atm, final partial pressure of NO (g) is 20 % greater than the final partial pressure of the hydrogen gas. What is the final volume of the expandable container?

The counters at a city hall are being modernized. The city hall
has 20 counters. Four
workmen have been called in to perform the conversion. Each workman
converts 5
counters. During the work, a counter is closed for an average of 3
hours. The duration of
the closing of a counter can be approached using an exponential
distribution. What is the
probability for each workman that he/she will be finished with the
work within one 8-hour
workday?
