Chapter 17, Problem 5RQ

Your company wishes to write a computer program that will calculate the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by a specified number of degrees. The company also wishes to know who ran the program and on what day of the week they ran it.

You are to write this program. Your program must allow the user to enter the following:

  • The user’s name using a dialog box
  • Since the program will only be run either on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, restrict the day of the week to these selections using a question dialog
  • The mass of the substance in units of grams
  • The specific heat of the substance in units of J/(kg K)
  • The initial temperature of the substance in units of degrees Fahrenheit
  • The final temperature of the substance in units of degrees Fahrenheit

Your program should output the following formatted sentence:

On YYYY, the user XXXX entered a ZZ.ZZ gram mass with a specific heat of AA.AA J/ (kg K) that should be raised from BB.B degrees Fahrenheit to cc .c degrees Fahrenheit.

This should require DD.D J of heat to be added to the substance.

Where:

  • XXXX – User name
  • YYYY – Day of the week
  • ZZ.ZZ – Mass of the substance
  • AA.AA – Specific heat of the substance
  • BB.BB – Initial temperature
  • CC.C – Final temperature
  • DD.D – Required heat input

The class I'm taking is physics for scientists and engineers! **** I need help with part  D only*****  Can you please write out the solution and not type out the solution? I had to reask this question because the last tutor typed out the solution and it was very hard for me to follow . Please and thank you for the special request. I have attached the problem. Please view attachment before answering. Thank you!
Q1: write a program to enter any text and compute its length. Q2: Design a form with a text box. Use select statement so that when user enters g, b, r and y then form colored to green, blue, red, and yellow respectively. Q3: Write a program to print multipliers of 5 (from 5 to 50)
12. (Note: in this question, you may leave your answer in unevaluated form. For example, answers may be written as P(52, 5), 52°, 52!, etc.). A website requires users to use four character passwords made up of the lower case letters, upper case letters, and the eight symbols !, ?, @, #, $, %, &, and (so there are 60 characters in total that may be used). How many possible passwords are there (a) in total (if there are no additional restrictions on passwords)? (b) if characters may not be used more than once? (c) if exactly one capital letter must be used (and characters may be used more than once)? (d) if at least one capital letter must be used (and characters may be used more than once)?
