A shipping company employee is in charge of packing cargo containers for shipment. He knows a certain cargo container can hold a maximum of 50 microwaves or a maximum of 15 refrigeratiors. Each microwave takes up 6 cubic feet of space, and each refrigerator takes up 20 cubic feet. The cargo container can hold a maximum of 300 cubic feet. The employee is trying to figure out how to pack a container containing both microwaves and refrigerators. Which of the following system of inequalities can the employee use to determine how many of each item (microwaves, m, and refrigeratios, r) he can pack into one cargo container ?

An ice cube of mass 0.1 kg at 0^@C is placed in an isolated container which is at 227^@C . The specific heat s of the container varies with temperature T according to the empirical relation s=A+BT , where A= 100 cal//kgK and B = 2xx (10^-2) cal//kg . If the final temperature of the container is 27^@C , determine the mass of the container. (Latent heat of fusion for water = 8xx (10^4) cal//kg , specific heat of water =10^3 cal//kg-K ).
