Question 1 The post-oce will accept only packages for which the length plus the girth
(distance around) is no more than 350 cm. Thus for the package in the gure, the requirement
means
(a) Will the post-oce accept a package that is 50 cm wide, 20 cm deep and 200 cm long. How
(b) What is the greatest acceptable length for a package that has a square base whose side

Question 4 One method for determining the depth of a well is to drop a stone into it and then
measure the time it takes until the splash is heard. If d is the depth of the well (in meters) and
t1 the time (in seconds) it takes for the stone to fall, then d = 21 gt21 , where g = 9.81 2
m/s . Now if
t2 is the time it takes for the sound to travel back up, then d = 343t2 because the speed of sound
is 343 m/s.
(a) A cell phone company charges a monthly fee of $10 for the rst 1000 text messages and
10 cents for each additional text message. Miriam's bill for text messages for the month of

paid 1 21 times her regular salary for the overtime hours worked. One week her gross pay
was $352.50. How many overtime hours did she work that week?
(d) A man is walking away from a lamppost with a light source 6 m above the ground. The
man is 1.81 m tall. How long is the man's shadow when he is 10 m from the lamppost?
(e) It took a crew 2 h 40 min to row 6 km upstream and back again. Given that the rate of
ow of the stream was 3 km/h. What was the rowing speed of the crew in still water?
(a) Find the radius r of a circle centered at the origin that is tangent to the line l.
(b) Find the equation of the line parallel to l and tangent to the circle found in (a).
