Answer

83 days.

Work Step by Step

Use equation 17–7 on page 483. $$Q=CV$$ $$\Delta Q=C\Delta V$$ $$\Delta t=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta Q/\Delta t}=\frac{ C\Delta V }{\Delta Q/\Delta t}$$ $$=\frac{ (1200F)(6.0V)}{0.001C/s}=7.2\times10^6 s$$ Convert to days. $$(7.2\times10^6 s) \frac{1d}{86400s}=83d$$
