You and two friends find yourself craving a fresh pizza while preparing for the final exam on the engineering economy. You can't spend time picking up the pizza and you have to have it shipped. 'Pick-up-Sticks' offers 1-1/4-inch thick (including toppings), 20-inch square pizza with your option of two toppings for $15 plus 5 percent sales tax, and $1.50 delivery fee (no sales tax on delivery price). "Fred's" offers Sasquatch round, deep-dish, which is 20 inches in diameter. It is 1-3/4 inches thick, contains two toppings, and costs $17.25 plus sales tax of 5 percent and free delivery. (1) What is the problem in this situation? Please state that clearly and specifically. (2) Apply the seven principles of engineering economy systematically to the problem you set out in Part (1) (3) If your common unit of measurement is dollars (i.e., cost), what is the better value for having a pizza based on the criterion of reducing cost per unit volume? (4) What other criteria might be used to select which pizza to purchase? *

Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by F(d)=−mk/d2, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant. 172. As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D (−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?
In a process of metal casting, the final product’s volume is 1275 cm3. Casting waste, scrap allowance, and shrinkage allowance are 8%, 12%, and 3.5%, respectively. The metal supplier pays $0.5/kg, irrespective of the type of metal. Determine the material cost, if the following metals are used for casting:a. Aluminum (ρ = 2.7 g/cm3 ; cost = $1.85/kg)b. Grey Iron (ρ = 6.8 g/cm3; cost = $1.38/kg)
How can the idea of design and development distinguish engineering from science?
Joe takes his little brother Andy down the the playground for an afternoon out. Andy would like to ride the seesaw, but the difference in their sizes, Joe weights 160lbs and Andy weighs 641lbs, makes this difficult. Joe sees a solution from his engineering class and moves the fulcrum from the middle to a new place. The seesaw is 3.5m long. After Joe moved the falcrum how long was the seesaw on Andy's side?

Scenario 1:You work as a design engineer in SpaceX which is a space exploration company that produces re-usablespace rockets. Space rockets in the past used to be disposable, the fact that they only serve for one timethen get lost in the space. SpaceX proposed a re-usable rocket, that can go to outer space, deliver someequipment, satellites, or even people to the outer space, and get back to earth to land again in a specifiedparking point. Where it can be re-fuelled, go through careful maintenance, and go through anotherjourney again. You are regularly requested by your manager to provide technical reports andtheoretical explanations about the main components and operational concepts related to these spaceshuttles. [https://www.spacex.com/]Task 1:Concerned with the number of maintenance visits the rocket can undergo before being out of service, you havebeen informed that the recent statics show a that after the first journey to the outer space, the rocket was sentto service once, and…

account_circle Science PhysicsQ&A LibraryA child’s toy consists of a m = 31 g monkey suspended from a spring of negligible mass and spring constant k. When the toy monkey is first hung on the spring and the system reaches equilibrium, the spring has stretched a distance of x = 17.6 cm, as shown in the diagram. This toy is so adorable you pull the monkey down an additional d = 7.6 cm from equilibrium and release it from rest, and smile with delight as it bounces playfully up and down. 1. Calculate the speed of the monkey, ve, in meters per second, as it passes through equilibrium. 2. Derive an expression for the total mechanical energy of the system as the monkey reaches the top of the motion, Etop, in terms of m, x, d, k, the maximum height above the bottom of the motion, hmax, and the variables available in the palette. 3. Calculate the maximum displacement, h, in centimeters, above the equilibrium position, that the monkey reaches. A child’s toy consists of a…
