In 2011, artist Hans-Peter Feldmann covered the walls of a gallery at the New York Guggenheim Museum with 100,000 one-dollar bills (Fig. P1.48). Approximately how much would it cost you to wallpaper your room in one-dollar bills, assuming the bills do not overlap? Consider the cost of the bills alone, not other supplies or labor costs.

The temperature of an object changes when it absorbs or loses thermal energy. It is possible to relate the amount of heat transferred, denoted by a variable q with units of joules, to the quantity of the substance m, by the following equation: ? = ????? where ?? is the specific heat of the substance in units of ?/(? ∙ ℃), ?? is the change in temperature in units of ℃, and m is the mass of the substance in grams. Write a script that calculates amount of heat transferred for any amount of aluminum. Aluminum has a specific heat ?? = 0.897 ?/(? ∙ ℃). The program should prompt the user to enter values for ???? and m, and should return the amount of heat transferred in units of joules. Test the program with values of 20 ℃ and 100 g.
