Stefan-Boltzmann Law 2009-12-28
From florence:
Hi- I have a college tutor and we are stumped with this question. Assuming a filament in a 100 W light bulb acts like a perfect blackbody, what is the temperature of the hottest portion of the filament if it has a surface area of 6.3 X 10^-5 m^2? The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67 X 10-4 W/(m^2 X K^2.\ Thank you for your help. If you can only answer one question per day please answer this one and guide me through a solution.

The Snail Problem 2009-12-28
From kishore:
A snail starts crawling from one end along a uniformly stretched elastic band. It crawls at a rate of 1 foot per minute. The band is initially 10 feet long and is instantaneously and uniformly stretched an additional 10 feet at the end of each minute. The snail maintains his grip on the band during the instant of each stretch. At what points in time is the snail (a) closest to the far end of the band, and (b) farthest from the far end of the band?

From Paul:
Je voudrais savoir si les quatre polyèdres suivants sont le même: P1:c'est le polyèdre convexe de centre O dont les sommets (62)sont les projetés (sur la sphère de centre O et de rayon 1,i.e U), des sommets(12), des milieux des arêtes(30),et des centres des faces(20) de l'icosaèdre de Platon (de centre O);

Hello I am having a problem figuring out something. Someone told me that .98 is the same as 2% how is this possible, how did they figure this out here is my example 929.79 x .98 = 911.19, is the same as 929.79 x 2% = 18.59, now minus the 18.59 and you will end up with 911.19, how did they convert 2% to .98, please help thgis is driving me nuts as I am not very good at math. Thank you

Warmest Regards
Brian
