Chapter 4, Problem 15PC
Shipping Charges
The Fast Freight Shipping Company charges the following rates:
| Weight of Package (in Kilograms) | Rate per 500 Miles Shipped |
| 2 kg or less | $1.10 |
| Over 2 kg but not more than 6 kg | $2.20 |
| Over 6 kg but not more than 10 kg | $3.70 |
| Over 10 kg but not more than 20 kg | $4.80 |
Write a program that asks for the weight of the package and the distance it is to be shipped, then displays the charges.
Input Validation: Do not accept values of 0 or less for the weight of the package. Do not accept weights of more than 20 kg (this is the maximum weight the company will ship). Do not accept distances of less than 10 miles or more than 3,000 miles. These are the company's minimum and maximum shipping distances.

Software Sales
A software company sells a package that retails for $99. Quantity discounts are given below:
Quantity Discount
10–19 20%
20–49 30%
50–99 40%
100 or more 50%
Design a program that asks the user to enter the number of packages purchased. The program should then display the amount of the discount (if any) and the total amount of the purchase after the discount.
Time CalculatorWrite a program that asks the user to enter a number of seconds.-There are 60 seconds in a minute. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 60, the program should display the number of minutes and leftover seconds in that many seconds.-There are 3,600 seconds in an hour. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 3,600, the program should display the number of hours, minutes, and leftover seconds in that many seconds.-There are 86,400 seconds in a day. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 86,400, the program should display the number of days, hours, minutes, and leftover seconds in that many seconds.
Hide Assignment Information Instructions The civil engineering department has asked you to write a program to compare three different designs of water towers shown in the diagrams below. The water towers are a cylinder topped with a half sphere. The engineers want to find the design that has the highest volume. The radius of the sphere and the radius and height of the cylinder for each of the three projects will need to be input by the user.
The formula for the volume of a Sphere is:V = 4/3 π r3The formula for the volume of a Cylinder is:V = π r2 h
Write two functions that will calculate the volume of a sphere and a cylinder respectively. Then, use these functions to write a program that will find the design with the largest volume.
Hint: Remember that the tower only consists of a half sphere.

The program should take as input the previous balance on the account and the total amount of additional charges during the month. The program should then compute the interest for the month, the total new balance (the previous balance plus additional charges plus interest), and the minimum payment due. Assume the interest is 0 if the previous balance was 0 but if the previous balance was greater than 0 the interest is 2% of the total owed (previous balance plus additional charges). Assume the minimum payment is as follows: new balance for a new balance less than $50 $50.00 for a new balance between $50 and $300 (inclusive) 20% of the new balance for a new balance over $300 So if the new balance is $38.00 then the person must pay the whole $38.00; if the balance is $128 then the person must pay $50; if the balance is $350 the minimum…arrow_forwardLanguage: JAVAarrow_forward

The input to the program is the number of hours the employee works in one week and the employee’s hourly pay rate. The program is to calculate the employee’s gross pay including the possibility of overtime pay. Regular pay is the number of hours the employee worked (up to 40 hours) times the hourly rate. The program is to compute an overtime pay if the employee worked more than 40 hours. All hours beyond 40 should be multiplied to 1.5 for the OT differential pay The program should output the worker’s regular pay, overtime time, and the gross pay (sum of the regular pay and overtime pay).
