The equation of state for cold (non-relativistic) matter may be approximated as:
\[
P=a \rho^{5 / 3}-b \rho^{4 / 3}
\]
where $P$ is the pressure, $\rho$ the density, and $a$ and $b$ are fixed constants. Use a dimensional analysis of the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium to estimate the ``radius-mass'' relation for planets and low-mass white dwarfs whose material follows this equation of state. Specifically, find $R(M)$ in terms of $G$ and the constants $a$ and $b$. You should set all constants of order unity (e.g., $4, \pi, 3$, etc.) to $1.0$. [Hint: solve for $R(M)$ rather than $M(R)$ ]. You can check your answer by showing that for higher masses, $R \propto M^{-1 / 3}$, while for the lower-masses $R \propto M^{+1 / 3}$.

Take the total energy (potential plus thermal) of the Sun to be given by the simple expression:
\[
E \simeq-\frac{G M^{2}}{R}
\]
where $M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius, respectively. Suppose that the energy generation in the Sun were suddenly turned off and the Sun began to slowly contract. During this contraction its mass, $M$, would remain constant and, to a fair approximation, its surface temperature would also remain constant at $\sim 5800 \mathrm{~K}$. Assume that the total energy of the Sun is always given by the above expression, even as $R$ gets smaller. By writing down a simple (differential) equation relating the power radiated at Sun's surface with the change in its total energy (using the above expression), integrate this equation to find the time (in years) for the Sun to shrink to $1 / 2$ its present radius.  Answer in units of years.

The star has a temperature $T = 6 \times 10^{5} K$ and produces a flux of $10^{-12} \mathrm{erg} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1} \mathrm{cm}^{-2}$ at the Earth. Treat the star's surface as a blackbody radiator.

Subproblem 0: Find the luminosity of the star (in units of $\mathrm{erg} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}$).

Solution: \[
  L=4 \pi D^{2} \text { Flux }_{\text {Earth }}=10^{-12} 4 \pi\left(800 \times 3 \times 10^{21}\right)^{2}=\boxed{7e37} \mathrm{erg} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}

Final answer: The final answer is 7e37. I hope it is correct.

Subproblem 1: Compute the star's radius in centimeters.

Solution: \[
  R=\left(L / 4 \pi \sigma T^{4}\right)^{1 / 2}=\boxed{8.7e8} \mathrm{~cm}=0.012 R_{\odot}

A Boolean function $F(A, B)$ is said to be universal if any arbitrary boolean function can be constructed by using nested $F(A, B)$ functions. A universal function is useful, since using it we can build any function we wish out of a single part. For example, when implementing boolean logic on a computer chip a universal function (called a 'gate' in logic-speak) can simplify design enormously. We would like to find a universal boolean function. In this problem we will denote the two boolean inputs $A$ and $B$ and the one boolean output as $C$.
First, to help us organize our thoughts, let's enumerate all of the functions we'd like to be able to construct. How many different possible one-output boolean functions of two variables are there? I.e., how many functions are there of the form $F(A, B)=C ?$

Unfortunately, a mutant gene can turn box people into triangles late in life. A laboratory test has been developed which can spot the gene early so that the dreaded triangle transformation can be prevented by medications. This test is 95 percent accurate at spotting the gene when it is there. However, the test gives a "false positive" $0.4$ percent of the time, falsely indicating that a healthy box person has the mutant gene. If $0.1$ percent (be careful - that's one-tenth of one percent) of the box people have the mutant gene, what's the probability that a box person actually has the mutant gene if the test indicates that he or she does?

Unfortunately the two letters sound similar so $8 \%$ of the time the cooks misinterpret what was said. The marketing experts who designed the restaurant guess that $90 \%$ of the orders will be for burgers and $10 \%$ for zucchini.
The cooks can hear one order per second. The customers arrive at the rate of one per second. One of the chefs says that this system will never work because customers can only send one bit per second, the rate at which orders can be accepted, so you could barely keep up even if there were no noise in the channel.

Preamble: A population of 100 ferrets is introduced to a large island in the beginning of 1990 . Ferrets have an intrinsic growth rate, $r_{\max }$ of $1.3 \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$.

Subproblem 0: Assuming unlimited resources-i.e., there are enough resources on this island to last the ferrets for hundreds of years-how many ferrets will there be on the island in the year 2000? (Show your work!)

Solution: $N_o = 100$ (in 1990)
\\
$N = ?$ (in 2000)
\\
$t = 10$ yr
\\
$r = 1.3 \text{yr}^{-1}$
\\
$N = N_{o}e^{rt} = 100*e^{(1.3/\text{yr})(10 \text{yr})} = 4.4 x 10^7$ ferrets
\\
There will be \boxed{4.4e7} ferrets on the island in the year 2000.

Final answer: The final answer is 4.4e7. I hope it is correct.

Preamble: The following subproblems refer to a circuit with the following parameters. Denote by $I(t)$ the current (where the positive direction is, say, clockwise) in the circuit and by $V(t)$ the voltage increase across the voltage source, at time $t$. Denote by $R$ the resistance of the resistor and $C$ the capacitance of the capacitor (in units which we will not specify)-both positive numbers. Then
\[
R \dot{I}+\frac{1}{C} I=\dot{V}
\]

Subproblem 0: Suppose that $V$ is constant, $V(t)=V_{0}$. Solve for $I(t)$, with initial condition $I(0)$.

Solution: When $V$ is constant, the equation becomes $R \dot{I}+\frac{1}{C} I=0$, which is separable. Solving gives us
\[
I(t)=\boxed{I(0) e^{-\frac{t}{R C}}
}\].

Final answer: The final answer is I(0) e^{-\frac{t}{R C}}
. I hope it is correct.

Consider the following "mixing problem." A tank holds $V$ liters of salt water. Suppose that a saline solution with concentration of $c \mathrm{gm} /$ liter is added at the rate of $r$ liters/minute. A mixer keeps the salt essentially uniformly distributed in the tank. A pipe lets solution out of the tank at the same rate of $r$ liters/minute. The differential equation for the amount of salt in the tank is given by
\[
x^{\prime}+\frac{r}{V} x-r c=0 .
\]
Suppose that the out-flow from this tank leads into another tank, also of volume 1 , and that at time $t=1$ the water in it has no salt in it. Again there is a mixer and an outflow. Write down a differential equation for the amount of salt in this second tank, as a function of time, assuming the amount of salt in the second tank at moment $t$ is given by $y(t)$, and the amount of salt in the first tank at moment $t$ is given by $x(t)$.
