Let's start by finding the radius of the ball. Since the ball is tangent to the faces of the cube, the diameter of the ball is equal to the edge length of the cube. Therefore, the radius of the ball is half of this length:

Let r be the radius of the ball. We know that the diameter of the ball is equal to the edge length of the cube, which is 35 cm. Therefore, 2r = 35 , and r = \frac{35}{2} = 17.5 cm.

Next, we need to calculate the volume of the ball:

The volume of a ball is given by the formula V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 .

Substitute the radius r = 17.5 cm into the formula:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi(17.5)^3\approx\frac{4}{3}\times3.1416\times17.5^3\approx4.1889\times17.5^3\approx22449.85 cubic cm.

The volume of the free space in the cube-shaped box is equal to the difference between the volume of the cube and the volume of the ball:

The volume of the cube is given by V_{\text{cube}} = s^3 , where s is the edge length of the cube.

Substitute the edge length s = 35 cm into the formula:

V_{\text{cube}} = 35^3 = 42875 cubic cm.

Therefore, the volume included by the free space in the cube-shaped box is:

V_{\text{free space}}=V_{\text{cube}}-V_{\text{ball}}=42875-22449.35=20425.65 cubic cm.

\boxed{20425.65\text{ cubic cm}} is the volume included by the free space in the cube-shaped box.

Exercise 1 An ejidal association wishes to determine the distribution for the three different crops that it can plant for the next season on its available 900 hectares. Information on the total available and how many resources are required for each hectare of cultivation is shown in the following tables: Total available resource Water 15,000 m3 Fertilizer 5,000 kg Labor 125 day laborers Requirements per cultivated hectare Corn Soybeans Wheat Water 15 25 20 Fertilizer 5 8 7 Labor** 1/8 1/5 1/4 *The data in fraction means that with one day laborer it will be possible to care for 8, 5 and 4 hectares respectively. * Sales of crops 1 and 3, according to information from the Department of Agriculture, are guaranteed and exceed the capacity of the cooperative. However, soybeans must be limited to a maximum of 150 hectares. On the other hand, the profits for each hectare of crop obtained are estimated at: $7,500 for corn, $8,500 for soybeans and $8,000 for wheat. The objectives are to determine: • How many hectares of each crop must be allocated so that the profit is maximum. R= • The estimated profits for the ejidal cooperative in the next growing season. R=

We plan to test whether the mean mRNA expression level differs between two strains of yeast, for each of 8,000 genes.
