11. A small quantity of solution containing 24Na radionuclide (half life 15 hours) of activity 1.0 microcurie is injected into the blood of a person. A sample of the blood of volume 1 cm3 taken after 5 hours shows an activity of 296 disintegrations per mimute. Deterimine the total volume of blood in the body of the person. Assume that the radioactive solution mixes uniformly in the blood of the person. (1 Curie - 3.7 x 1010 disintegrations per second)...

Thorium (with half-life T1/2 = 1.913 yr. and atomic mass 228.0287 u) undergoes alpha decay and produces radium (atomic mass 224.0202 u) as a daughter nucleus. (Assume the alpha particle has atomic mass 4.002603 u.) 1) What is the decay constant of thorium? (Note that the answer must be in units of hrs-1.) λ = 2) What percent of thorium is left after 200 days? 3) The energy released from the decay of 10 g of thorium is used to...
1. A machine is needed to produce parts at the rate of 60 per hour. The operator to run the machine will be paid $11.47 per hour. The parts cost $.47 each and will be sold for $.93 each after this operation. This operation is expected to be needed for 7 years. SOYD depr will be used and 10% salvage is assumed. Assume that revenues, labor, and material costs flow uniformly and continuously throughout the year, and that the machine...
