A heat pump is under consideration for heating a research station located on an Antarctica ice shelf. The interior of the station is to be kept at 25°C. Determine the maximum theoretical rate of heating provided by a heat pump, in kW per kW of power input, in each of two cases: The role of the cold reservoir is played by (a) the atmosphere at -30°C, (b) ocean water at 5°C.

answer:

a

hope this give me a and brainliest

answer:

// here is code in C++.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

//main function

int main()

{

  // variable

 int n;

 cout<<"enter a number:";

 // read the input

 cin>>n;

 // find the square root of the absolute value

 float square_root=sqrt(abs(n));

 // print the square_root

 cout<<"square root of "<<n<<" is: "<<square_root<<endl;

  return 0;

}

Explanation:

Read a number from user and assign it to "n".Then find its absolute value with abs() function.Then calculate the square root of the absolute value with sqrt() function.Print the square root of the number.

Output:

enter a number:-17

square root of -17 is: 4.12311
