1.19: Ten thousand; if it were to contain ten million, each sheet would be on the order
of a millionth of an inch thick.
1.20: If it takes about four kernels to fill 1 cm
3
, a 2-L bottle will hold about 8000
kernels.
1.21: Assuming the two-volume edition, there are approximately a thousand pages, and
each page has between 500 and a thousand words (counting captions and the smaller
print, such as the end-of-chapter exercise and problems), so an estimate for the number of
words is about
6
10
.
1.22: Assuming about 10 breaths per minutes,
6024
minutes per day, 365 days per
year, and a lifespan of fourscore (80) years, the total volume of air breathed in a lifetime
is about
35
m102
. This is the volume of a room
m20m100m100
, which is kind of
tight for a major-league baseball game, but it’s the same order of magnitude as the
volume of the Astrodome.
1.23: This will vary from person to person, but should be of the order of
5

.
1.24: With a pulse rate of a bit more than one beat per second, a heart will beat 10
5
times per day. With 365 days in a year and the above lifespan of 80 years, the number of
beats in a lifetime is about
9
103
. With
20
1
L (50 cm
3
) per beat, and about
4
1
gallon per
liter, this comes to about
7
104
gallons.
1.25: The shape of the pile is not given, but gold coins stacked in a pile might well be in
the shape of a pyramid, say with a height of
m2
and a base
m3m3
. The volume of
such a pile is
3
m6
, and the calculations of Example 1-4 indicate that the value of this
volume is
.106$

1.26: The surface area of the earth is about
2142
m1054 R
, where R is the radius of
the earth, about
m106
6
, so the surface area of all the oceans is about
214
m104
. An
average depth of about 10 km gives a volume of
324318
cm104m104
. Characterizing
the size of a “drop” is a personal matter, but 25
3
cmdrops
is reasonable, giving a total of
26
10
drops of water in the oceans.
1.27: This will of course depend on the size of the school and who is considered a
"student''. A school of thousand students, each of whom averages ten pizzas a year
(perhaps an underestimate) will total 10
4
pizzas, as will a school of 250 students
averaging 40 pizzas a year each.
1.28: The moon is about
mm104m104
118
away. Depending on age, dollar
bills can be stacked with about 2-3 per millimeter, so the number of bills in a stack
to the moon would be about 10
12
. The value of these bills would be $1 trillion (1
terabuck).
