As a hiker in glacier national park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. you find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. part of the ice outcropping forms a slope of angle phiϕ up to a vertical cliff. you decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply, as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. you put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. the mass of rocks that you put into the anchor bag is equal to the mass of food in the other bag. what will be the acceleration of the food bag when you let go of the anchor bag? assume that the weight of the rope is negligible, and that the ice can be considered frictionless. express the resulting acceleration of the food bag in terms of phiϕ and , the acceleration due to gravity. let the positive direction for this bag be downwards.

An insulated thermos contains 148 g of water at 72.7 ˚c. you put in a 11.7 g ice cube at 0.00 ˚c to form a system of ice + original water. the specific heat of liquid water is 4190 j/kg•k; and the heat of fusion of water is 333 kj/kg. what is the net entropy change of the system from then until the system reaches the final (equilibrium) temperature?
