Two machines can be hooked together. When something is sent through this hook up, the output from the first machine becomes the input for the second. Which two machines hooked together do the same work a (× 102) machine does? Is there more than one arrangement of two machines that will work?


Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. For example, sending a piece of wire through a (× 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (× 2) machine four times. So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire through a (× 24) machine, its length becomes 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.


What will be the new length of a 4 cm strip inserted in the machine?


For the following repeater machines, how many times the base machine is applied and how much the total stretch is?


Ajay had a 1 cm piece of gum. He put it through repeater machine given below and it came out `1/(100,000)` cm long. What is the missing value?


Shikha has an order from a golf course designer to put palm trees through a (× 23) machine and then through a (× 33) machine. She thinks she can do the job with a single repeater machine. What single repeater machine should she use?


Neha needs to stretch some sticks to 252 times their original lengths, but her (× 25) machine is broken. Find a hook-up of two repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 252) machine. To get started, think about the hookup you could use to replace the (× 25) machine.


Find two repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 81) machine.


A particular star is at a distance of about 8.1 × 1013 km from the Earth. Assuring that light travels at 3 × 108 m per second, find how long does light takes from that star to reach the Earth.
