In a real-world scenario, there are three factories emitting pollutants with capacities of 100, 150, and 200 units respectively. Calculate the effective contribution factor while considering the interaction between their emissions.
💡 Hint: Utilize the formula N^(4/5) for your calculations.
Analyze a situation where two cities are affected by emissions from multiple stacks situated between them. Describe how you would approach modeling their contributions considering environmental conditions.
💡 Hint: Remember to think critically about how different stacks may affect each other based on their placements.
