When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(ii) sulfate is reduced to lead at the cathode and oxidized to solid lead(ii) oxide at the anode. suppose a current of is fed into a car battery for seconds. calculate the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery.

The safe load, l, of a wooden beam of width w, height h, and length l, supported at both ends, varies directly as the product of the width and the square of the height, and inversely as the length. a wooden beam 4 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 240 inches long can hold a load of 6810 pounds. what load would a beam 3 inches wide, 8 inches high, and 144 inches long, of the same material, support? (round off your answer to the nearest integer.)
