1) you ar charged to work on reducing expenditures for a company.you think that the company can save considerable money on fuel costs by lowering the room temperature of the building for daily use. In the morning, the interior temperature is typically 37.6°F and the thermostat is typically set for 70.7°F. Instead, you propose to lower the thermostat to 60.1°F. Currently the building measures 23.5 × 24.3 × 14.5 feet. How much heat will be saved each morning by bringing the building up to the new operating temperature of 60.1°F instead of 70.7°F? Ignore heat and air losses to the outside and consider air an ideal diatomic gas. Assume that in the morning the pressure in the room is atmospheric. Express your answer as a positive quantity

2) The electricity rate is $2.56 per kilowatt-hour. How much money (in dollars) is saved each morning by only heating the room to the new operating temperature?
