Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 4ICA

The worksheet shown was designed to calculate the cost of material that must be purchased to produce a given number of parts. The user will enter the specific gravity of the material, the diameter of the cylindrical part in units of inches, the cost of the raw material in dollars per pound-mass, and the number of parts to be manufactured. All user input is shown in red. The worksheet will calculate the radius of the cylindrical part in units of centimeters and the density of the fluid in grams per cubic centimeter. All conversions are shown in orange.

The worksheet will determine the volume and mass of a single part for a given height. Finally, the worksheet will determine the total mass of material needed to produce the desired number of parts in units of pounds-mass, and the total material cost.

The total material cost appears twice. In cells E13 to E20, a formula is written to determine the cost. In cells B26 to B33, the cells simply reference the corresponding cell in the table above. For example, B26 the formula = E13 appears.

In the bottom table, the total cost for N parts is determined by the formula:

Chapter 10, Problem 4ICA, The worksheet shown was designed to calculate the cost of material that must be purchased to produce Total Cost = Total Material Cost + (Energy Cost + Labor Cost) × Number of Parts

a. What should be typed into cell C9 to determine the radius in the correct units?
b. What should be typed into cell B13 that can then be copied down column B to determine the volume of a cylindrical part in units of cubic centimeters?
c. What should be typed into cell C13 that can then be copied through down column C to calculate the mass of each part in unit of grams?
d. What should be typed into cell D13 that can then be copied down column D to calculate the total mass needed to produce N parts in units of pounds-mass?
e. What should be typed into cell E13 that can then be copied down column E to calculate the total material cost?
f. What should be typed into cell C26 that can then be copied from C26 to F33 given the energy cost in row 25 and labor cost in cell C22 to calculate the total cost of producing N parts?

Students have asked these similar questions

A dog is pulling on his lead at an angle of 39 degrees with a force of 50 Newtons. What is the force downward? Newtons. What is the force horizontally? Newtons. Note: You can type the trig in the answer box for all these problems. For example if the answer is 50cos(10), you can just type that into the answer box. To get inverse trig functions type arcsin, arccos or arctan.

Rotate the objects shown below by the indicated amount and sketch the result in the space provided. You do not need to include the coordinate axes in your sketch.

The attached answer was provided for the attached question. The equation uses the given temperature in celcius and the answer is also given in celcius. The temperature was used in the equation without converting from F and the answer was supposed to be in F. I am worried that even if I converted the answer to celcius that it would be correct because temperature was used in the equation using the incorrect unit.
