Suppose we express the amount of land under cultivation as the product of four factors: Land= (Land / food ) x (Food/ K Cal) x (Kcal/person) x(population)

The annual growth rates for each factor are 1 the land required to grow a unit of food 1 percent due to greater productivity per unit of land 2 the amount of food grown per calorie of food eaten by a human 0.5 percent because with affluence people consume more animal products which greatly reduces the efficiency of land use 3 the per capita calorie consumption 0.1 percent and 4 the size of the population 1.5 percent At these rates how long would it take to double the amount of cultivated land needed? At that time how much less land would be required to grow a unit of food?

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
