A high-performance supercomputing facility requires a continuous electrical supply to run complex climate simulations.

a.

Write down the equation which links energy transferred (EEE), power (PPP), and time (ttt).

b.

This supercomputing facility has a steady power consumption of 350 MW350\text{ MW}350 MW. Calculate the total energy consumed by the facility in a continuous period of 6.0 hours6.0\text{ hours}6.0 hours. Give your answer in joules (J\text{J}J) in scientific notation (standard form).
