You are working as an expert witness for an attorney who is suing a shipping company. the company operates ships that carry crude oil across the oceans. one ship suffered an oil spill, in which the spilled oil spreads out into a slick, forming a thin film that floats on the ocean surface. the legal issue is whether or not the ship spilled more or less than a volume of 10.0 m3 of oil into the ocean. you are reading documents that describe the oil slick on the ocean surface. in one document, you find out that reflection tests were performed on the oil slick. these tests showed that the ocean surface showed a maximum of interference for 490 nm light over a circular area of radius 4.25 km surrounding the location at which the spill occurred. at distances farther from the location, the ocean surface showed no constructive interference, indicating that no oil was present. the type of oil involved has an index of refraction of n = 1.15. determine for the attorney the minimum amount of oil (in m3) that was spilled.

The temperature in gavin's oven is a sinusoidal function of time. gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 280°f and a minimum temperature of 240°. once the temperature hits 280°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 280° again. gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 270°. he puts the cake into the oven when it is at 260° and rising. how long will gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (round your answer to the nearest minute.)
