A homeowner wants some insulation blown into her attic. The original quote was for 16 cm of R-17 rated insulation. If she wants the attic insulated to R-44, what thickness (in cm) does she need to use

the value of the required thickness is 41.4 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

R1 = 17

R2 = 44

L1 = 16

L2 = ?  

we know that, from thermal conductivity formula

P = 1 / R

P = k / L  

1 / R = k / L    

since k of a distinct material  is constant,

we can take

L / R = constant

L1 / R1 = L2 / R2  

L1R2 = L2R1

L2 = (L1 × R2) / R1  

so we substitute

L2 = (16 × 44) / 17

L2 = 704 / 17

L2 = 41.4 cm  

Therefore the value of the required thickness is 41.4 cm  

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
