Which option will most accurately and quickly assess a patient’s response to changes in FIO2?

A conveyor belt moves crushed coal to the top of a 137-foot-high oven. The conveyor belt is angled at 17.3 degrees above the horizontal. The machine lifts 13,700 pounds per minute of coal to the top of the oven. It moves very slowly, so the kinetic energy added to the coal is negligible. The system is driven by a large electric motor and operates 16 hours per day, 6 days per week. If the entire system is 71.3% efficient in converting electrical energy to gravitational potential energy in the coal, and if electricity costs 13.7 cents per KWHR, calculate the average monthly electric cost to run this device. 

A 17.7 kg block is given an initial velocity of 7.77 m/s up a slope inclined at 11.7°. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.213 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.349, calculate how far up the slope the block slides before it stops. 

Calculate the patient’s C(a-v) 02, choose the closest option.
