Due date: 24 Oct 2006

Question 1

A quantity known as body mass index (BMI) is used to calculate the risk of weight-related health problems. BMI is computed by the formula:

BMI = w/h2

wher w is weight in kilograms and h is height in meters. A BMI of about 20 to 25 is considered "normal".  Write a Java program that accepts the weight and height (both integers) and outputs the BMI.

Question 2

Your weight is actuallly the amount of gravitational attraction exerted on you by the earth. Since the moon’s gravity is only 1/6 of the earth’s gravity, on the moon you would weigh only 1/6 of what weigh on the earth.

Write a Java program that inputs the user’s weight and outputs his/her weight on Mercury. Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. Use the values in the table below:
