A 37.0g sample of polyisoprene, which has a specific heat capacity of 1.880 J·g−1°C−1, is dropped into an insulated container containing 150.0g of water at 55.0°C and a constant pressure of 1 atm. The initial temperature of the polyisoprene is 5.2°C.

Assuming no heat is absorbed from or by the container, or the surroundings, calculate the equilibrium temperature of the water.

Be sure your answer has 3 significant digits.

8.2 Aoslia is a small country that takes the world price of corn as given. Its domestic supply and demand for corn is given by the following: D = 45 - 3P S = 3P – 9.

a. Assume initially that Aoslia does not open to trade. What is the autarky equilibrium price and quantity?

b. Suppose Aoslia decides to engage in trade. Determine the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and import given the world price of $6 per bushel of corn.

c. If the Aoslia government imposes a tariff in the amount of $1, what is the new domestic price? What is the amount imported?

d. Determine the effect of the tariff on the Aoslian consumers, producers, and government.

e. Calculate the terms-of-trade gain. What is the net effect of the tariff on Aoslia’s welfare? Explain.

In Oceania, citizens lack privacy, have little control over their daily lives, and learn only the information that the Party chooses to tell them. Today, by contrast, information flows freely through many forms of media. People can look up any topic at any time and read about it. Through various social network sites and through phone and text messages, people have never been so connected.
 

However, the power of media can work against people as well as for them. Is all information true and accurate, or do some sources obscure truth and mislead readers? What are the potential abuses of constant connectedness? How might the screens, large and small, that surround us be used against us? Under what circumstances might our "information society" fall into the hands of a powerful but ill-intentioned group of leaders? Discuss the abuses of information and privacy in 1984 and the possibility of such abuses occurring today. Use information from the novel to support your ideas.

4) Welfare Analysis: Trade (7 points)

Finally, let's suppose that this is a tiny country that opens up to trade, and the world price of coffee is $14 per lb. Assume that this country is a small enough part of the world market that its decision to trade does not impact the world price.

a. What is the domestic equilibrium price and quantity of coffee under autarky?

P* = $

Q*=

Ibs

b.

Draw the world price on the graph and clearly label the domestic quantities supplied and demanded with trade.

Quantity supplied:

_ Ibs

Quantity demanded:

bs

c. Will this country be a net-exporter or net-importer of coffee, and how many lbs of coffee will be imported or exported?

1984 Literary Essay: Winston Smith, Hero or Not?

Assignment Instructions

Respond to the following in the form of a short essay. Your essay should consist of at least five paragraphs.

George Orwell once offered this definition of heroism: ordinary people doing whatever they can to change social systems that do not respect human decency, even with the knowledge that they can’t possibly succeed.

In Winston Smith, the protagonist of 1984, Orwell creates an ordinary person, an “everyman” who stands for all the oppressed citizens of Oceania. Yet, as the novel closes, Winston cries as his love for Big Brother overwhelms him. Is Winston the novel’s hero, by Orwell’s definition? Is he a hero that readers can admire and emulate? Explain your position by tracing Winston’s actions throughout the novel and considering the results of those actions.

Cite specific examples from the novel in your response.
