To maintain a constant temperature, the Earth must radiate as much light energy every second as it absorbs from the Sun. The Earth receives about 1.74 x 1017 W from the Sun, and absorbs about 70% of the incoming light, reflecting 30% of it back into space. That 70% is the light energy that must be re-radiated by the Earth. The Earth's total surface area is about 5.10 x 1014 m2. If the Earth radiates as a uniform, perfect blackbody, what must its temperature be in order to radiate as much light energy every second as it receives from the Sun

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area ah at its bottom. when water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of water leaving the tank per second to cah 2gh , where c (0 < c < 1) is an empirical constant. a tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its bottom. (assume the removed apex of the cone is of negligible height and volume.) (a) suppose the tank is 20 feet high and has radius 8 feet and the circular hole has radius 2 inches. the differential equation governing the height h in feet of water leaking from a tank after t seconds is dh dt = − 5 6h3/2 . if the height of the water is initially 8 feet, how long will it take the tank to empty? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
