Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 11RQ
Assume you have a four-column matrix named BoltStock25 containing information about quarter-inch-diameter bolts your company has in stock. The first column contains the bolt length, the second column contains the number in stock, the third column contains the minimum stock that should be maintained (based on usage), and the fourth column contains the maximum number allowed in stock (based on storage space). You wish to determine how many bolts of each type to order according to the following guidelines:
- If the number in stock falls to less than the minimum stock desired plus 50 for any specific length, more of that length should be ordered.
- All orders must be in multiples of 100 of any specific length.
- The current stock plus the number ordered for a specific length must not exceed the maximum allowable stock.
- When an order is placed for a specific length, the total stock should then be as close as possible to the maximum allowed stock.
- You may assume that the maximum stock allowed is always at least 150 more than the minimum stock desired.
Create a new two-column matrix BoltOrder25. The first column should contain the lengths of all bolts that will be ordered. The second column will contain the number of each length to be ordered.
Example: One row of BoltStock25 contains [3, 219. 175, 900]. Since the number in stock (219) is less than 50 more than the minimum stock desired (175), more should be ordered to bring the total as close to 900 as possible. This means 600 should be ordered, bringing the total to 819.

Suppose your CFD code can handle nonelementary blocks. Combine as many blocks of Fig. as you can. The only restriction is that in any one block, the number of i-intervals and the number of j-intervals must be constants. Show that you can create a structured grid with only three nonelementary blocks. Renumber all the blocks and indicate how many i- and j-intervals are contained in each block. Add up all the cells and verify that the total number of cells does not change.

The title of our study is "Design and Fabrication of an Agricultural Spraying Attachment for an Autonomous Rover" we need help in the machine design part of our study, specifically Pump selection, battery selection, and center of gravity computation I already sent you the image of the rover Rover weight capacity 35 kilo grams (payload) Rover measurements: Wheel distance - 14.5 inches and 8.5 inches Rover platform size (width & length) 14.4 inches x 10.4 inches Height- 15.8 inches. Water tank selection More or less 25 liters *For tank selection we need to justify the size with the center of gravity, proving that is the maximum dimension or liters of the tank because the center of gravity will be higher making the rover prone to toppling Pump selection *Our sprayer design has two nozzles which splits using a tee splitter, we need to find the size of the pump to obtain the same discharge rate of a normal sprayer. A normal sprayer has a 12V pump and a pressure from 0.2 to 0.45 mpa…

- As the potential across the resistor increased, the current through the resistor increased. If the change in current is proportional to the voltage, the data should be in a straight line and it should go through zero. In these two examples how close is the y-intercept to zero? Is there a proportional relationship between voltage and current? If so, write the equation for each run in the form potential = constant x current.

Based on recent data, you learned that one of the leading causes of road accidents is over speeding.In your desire to minimize road accidents, you went out to observe how traffic management rules are implemented on the streets. Your attention was caught by a fast - moving car that seemed to be breaking the speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour(km/hr.), and so you followed it along the highway. After a short time, the driver of the car noticed you and started to slow down. Eventually, he stopped on the side of the road. Supposed the speed of the car had been noted during this time and is modeled by the quadratic equation y = 3x² + 17x - 20, where y represents the speed of the car in km/hr. and x represents the number of minutes after you started following the car.

Please solve it.arrow_forwardWe have designed a divide-and-conquer algorithm that runs on an input of size n. This algorithm works by spending O(1) time splitting the problem in half, then does a recursive call on each half, then spends O(n2 ) time combining the solutions to the recursive calls. On small inputs, the algorithm takes a constant amount of time. We want to see how long this algorithm takes, in terms of n to perform the task. (a) First, write a recurrence relation that corresponds to the time-complexity of the above divide and conquer algorithm. (b) Then, solve the relation to come with the worst-case time taken for the algorithm. Please show all work in depth.arrow_forward

You decide to perform an analysis on a robot arm of the assembly line with the objective of optimizing its performance. After taking several readings of the speed of the arm’s end effector, you approximate its velocity to the function given below. v(t) = -t4 + 5t3 - 7t2 + 3t + 0.22 0 =< t =< 3 where the velocity is in ms-1 Use your knowledge of differentiation to sketch the velocity-time graph, clearly marking the critical points. Using the graph sketched in (a) above, estimate the velocity when t = 1.5 s Calculate the velocity of the function when t = 1.5 s by substituting to the velocity function. Compare this value to the value you estimated in b above.arrow_forwardI need a MATLAB code that uses image segmentation to take this photo and single out the weeds in the yard.
