Be sure to show all work and all problem solving strategies. Give complete explanations for each step. The Moment Magnitude Scale (MMS) for measuring the intensity of an earthquake is represented by the equation M = 2 3 log E E0 where E is the amount of energy released by the earthquake in joules and E0 = 104.4 is the assigned minimal measure released by an earthquake. 1. What would the magnitude be of an earthquake releasing 1.4∗1013 joules of energy? 2. A recent earthquake in southern California measured had a magnitude of 4.6. How much energy was released by the earthquake? 3. An earthquake had a magnitude of 3.9 on the MMS scale. If a second earthquake releases 750 times as the first, what is the magnitude of the second earthquake?

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.
