A spacecraft is powered by electricity generated by the heat produced when 23894Pu decays with a half-life of 87.75 y. Engineers predict that the spacecraft will have insufficient power to operate its instruments when the amount of 238 94Pu in its power generators drops below 67 % of the amount it had at launch on September 1, 1977 Required:
