A retail store currently has annual sales of $160,000. The sales manager's goal is to increase sales by 15% for the following year. Write and solve an equation to find how much the store manager wants to do in sales volume next year.

In a classic math problem, a king wants to reward a knight who has rescued him from an attack. The king gives the knight a chessboard and plans to place money on each square. He gives the knight two options. Option 1 is to place a thousand dollars on the first square, two thousand on the second square, three thousand on the third square, and so on. Option 2 is to place one penny on the first square, two pennies on the second, four on the third, and so on. Think about which offer sounds better and then answer the question. Find the amount of money placed on the 20th square of the chessboard and the total amount placed on the squares 1 through 20 for each option. Option 1. Option 2.

A fluid with a density of 2000 kg/m$^{3}$ flows steadily between two flat plates. The bottom plate is fixed and the top one moves at a constant speed in the x direction. The velocity is $\mathrm{V=0.20 y \hat{i} m / s}$ where y is in meters. The acceleration of gravity is $\mathrm{g}=-9.8 \hat{\mathbf{j}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$. The only nonzero shear stresses, $\tau_{y x}=\tau_{x y}$, are constant throughout the flow with a value of 5 N/m$^{2}$. The normal stress at the origin (x = y = 0) is s $\sigma_{x x}=-100 \mathrm{kPa}$. Use the x and y components of the equations of motion to determine the normal stress throughout the fluid. Assume that $\sigma_{x x}=\sigma_{y y}$.
