modern commercial airlines are largely made of aluminum, and light and strong metal. But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough that airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. before the discovery of the Hall-Heroult process in 1886, aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of a Boeing 787, which can carry 400 passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, 70.7 m long, 6.5 m wide, and 2.5 mm thick. Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density 7.87 g/cm^{3}) instead of aluminum (density 2.7g/[tex]cm^{3}), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of 81 kg. We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Boeing 747 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel.

Acalorimeter is to be calibrated: 51.203 g of water at 55.2 degree c is added to a calorimeter containing 49.783 g of water at 23.5c. after stirring and waiting for the system to equilibrate, the final temperature reached is 37.6 degree c. specific heat capacity of water (s = 4.18 j/g∙degree c). calculate the calorimeter constant. (smδt)warm water = -[(smδt)cold water + (calorimeterδtcold water)]
