Answer:
Burden is approximately 0.004 grams per square meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Burden, grams per square meter is given by:
[tex]B(x,n) = \displaystyle\frac{xn}{A}[/tex]
where x is total weigth, n is the number of years and A = [tex]5.1\times 10^{14}[/tex] square meters
We are given that
x = [tex]1.5\times 10^{14}[/tex] grams per year
n = 5 days = [tex]5\times 0.00273973 = 0.01369865\text{ year}[/tex]
Calculation:
[tex]B(x,n) = B(1.5\times 10^{14}, 0.01369865) = \displaystyle\frac{1.5\times 10^{14}\times 0.01369865}{5.1\times 10^{14}}\\\\= 0.00402901470588 \approx 0.004[/tex]
Hence, burden is 0.004 grams per square meters.
