- Heat Gain The following graphs show the typical heat gain, in BTU per hour per square foot, for windows one with plain glass and one that is triple glazed in Pittsburgh in June, one facing east and one facing south. The horizontal axis gives the time of the day. Estimate the total heat gain per square foot by summing the areas of rectangle. Use rectangles with widths of 2hours, and let the function value at the midpoint of the subinterval give the height of rectangle. Source: Sustainable by Design. a. Estimate the total heat gain per square foot for a plain glass window facing south. b. Estimate the total heat gain per square foot for a triple glazed window facing south.arrow_forwardConsumer Demand When the price of an essential commodity rises rapidly, consumption drops slowly at first. If the price continues to rise, however, a tipping point may be reached, at which consumption takes a sudden substantial drop. Suppose the accompanying graph shows the consumption of gasoline, G(t), in millions of gallons, in a certain area. We assume that the price is risign rapidly. Here t is the time in months after the price began rising.
