Earths Average Temperature with no Greenhouse Gases

Proving that without Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water Vapor (H2O) gases, the Earths
temperature drops nearly 60F from its current average to a new average of 0F
Energy in must equal energy out
The equation is (1-A) S RE2 = SB TE 4 4 RE2
Where
A = 0.3
S = 1368 W/m2
RE = 6,370,000 m (Earths Radius)
SB = 5.67*10-8 W/m2 /K4 (Stephan Boltzmann Constant)
TE = Earths Equilibrium Temperature (what to be solved)
Therefore we have (1-0.3)*1368*3.142*(6,370,000)2 = 5.67*10-8 * (TE)4 *4*3.142*(6,370,000)2
RE2 cancels out on both sides of the equation.
0.7*1368 = 2.268*10-7 (TE)4
(TE)4 =957.6/2.268*10-7
(TE)4 = 4222222222.2
TE =

4 4222222222.2

= 254.91 K

To convert to C, 254.91 - 273.15 = -18.2 which is approximately -18C to the nearest whole
number
-18C is equal to 0F, therefore it is a proof.

Seasons
1. The city that will have the most daylight hours on June 21st is city A
2. The city that will have the largest annual range of temperature throughout the year is city
B
3. Will city A have direct sunshine (directly overhead, 90 degree solar elevation angle) at
noon on June 21st? yes
4. Will city C ever have direct sunshine (directly overhead, 90 degree solar elevation angle)
at noon? Yes
5. The city that will likely to have 24-hours of darkness in on December 21st is city D

Moving Champaign
When Champaign city were to be moved from its current location in the middle of a large
continent directly to the west until it was situated along the west coast of the US, its annual
temperature range change will decrease since coastal regions show a smaller annual variation in
temperature compared continental locations that have a larger annual variation in temperature. At
the coast, Champaign would face the effect of continentally having its adjacent water stores
releasing more heat much slower than land surfaces it was located before, thus the air in contact
with that water likewise changes temperatures much slower.

If you took an elevator from the 1st floor to the 10th floor of a building decrease.
If you drove from Denver, CO, to Chicago, IL increase
If you went spelunking into a deep cave 200 feet below sea level increase
If a hurricane were to pass directly overhead decrease.
If you were put into a hypobaric chamber decrease.

Crushing Lincoln Hall

Using air pressure in demolition of Lincoln Hall
To calculate weight required:
Given
The square footage of the roof of Lincoln Hall is approximately 107,000 ft2.
Atmospheric pressure in Champaign is approximately 14.3 lbs/in2.
Pressure = Force (Weight)/area
Converting pressure to N/m2
1 N/m2 = 0.000145 lbs/in2
Therefore, 14.3 lbs/in2 = 14.3/0.000145 which is equal to 98620.69 N/m2
Converting the area to m2
1 ft2 = 0.092903 m2
Therefore, 107,000 ft2 = 107,000* 0.092903 = 9940.621m2
From Pressure = Force (Weight)/area, Weight = pressure*area
Weight in newton = 98620.69*9940.621
= 980, 350, 902.05N
