Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.

Consider a file currently consisting of 200 blocks. assume that the file control block (and the index block in the case of indexed allocation) is already in memory. calculate how many disk i/o operations are required for contiguous, linked, and indexed (single-level) allocation strategies, for each of the conditions listed below. in the contiguous-allocation case, assume that there is not room to grow at the beginning but there is room to grow at the end. also assume that the block information to be added is stored in memory.

Abeverage can is made of 3004-h19 aluminum alloy (elastic modulus 69 gpa, tensile yield strength 285 mpa, density 2.72 g/cm^3). the dimensions on the can are approximated as a thin-walled cylinder with a height of 4.83 inches, diameter of 2.60 inches. empty the can has a mass of 14.2 g. determine: a. the wall thickness of the cylinder b. assuming a pinned-pinned condition what is the critical load? c. assuming a fixed-fixed condition what is the critical load?
