Characterize the following algorithm in terms of Big-O notation. Also find the exact number of additions executed by the loop. (Assume that all variables are properly declared.) for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) sum = sum + i * (i + 1);

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
