Practice Problem 1.1 (solution page 28)
Suppose you work as a truck driver, and you have been hired to carry a load of potatoes from Boise, Idaho, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, a total distance of 2,500 kilometers. You estimate you can average 100 km/hr driving within the speed limits, requiring a total of 25 hours for the trip.
- A. You hear on the news that Montana has just abolished its speed limit, which constitutes 1,500 km of, the trip. Your truck can travel at 150 km/hr. What will be your speedup for the trip?
- B. You can buy a new turbocharger for your truck at www.fasttrucks.com. They stock a variety of models, but the faster you want to go, the more it will cost. How fast must you travel through Montana to get an overall speedup for your trip 1.67×?

The core loss, stator conductor loss and rotor conductor loss are 1053 W, 2527 W, and 1755 W respectively. Sketch the power flow diagram, substitute values and determine: (i) shaft speed; (ii) developed torque; (iii) shaft torque; (iv) power factor; (v) combined windage, friction, and stray power loss.arrow_forwardProblem 4 Discrete Mathematics.Combinations and Permutations. (5,10,10): Soccer A local high school soccer team has 20 players. However, only 11 players play at any given time during a game. In how many ways can the coach choose 11 players To be more realistic, the 11 players playing a game normally consist of 4 midfielders, 3 defend ers, 3 attackers and 1 goalkeeper. Assume that there are 7 midfielders, 6 defenders, 5 attackers and 2 goalkeepers on the team 2. In how many ways can the coach choose a group of 4 midfielders, 3 defenders, 3 attackers and 1 goalkeeper? 3. Assume that one of the defenders can also play attacker. Now in how many ways can the coach choose a group of 4 midfielders, 3 defenders, 3 attackers and 1 goalkeeper?arrow_forward
- Develop a solution to calculate a student’s grade average for one semester for five courses. The lettergrades should be entered and the grade average printed out. An A is equivalent to 4 grade points, a Bis 3 grade points; a C is 2 grade points, a D is 1 grade point, and an F is zero grade points write solution in c with if elsearrow_forwardC++ I need the solution in 30 minutesarrow_forward5 Problem 1. List all the necessary components for a static game in normal form. After that list all the components of a dynamic game in extended form. Explain the differences and why they are necessarily present. Basically, a game in Normal form has 3 components, while a game in extended has 7 listed in video lectures. Your goal is to identify how are dynamic games different and which differences necessitate the additional components.arrow_forward
- (Oceanography) The pressure, P, exerted on an underwater object can be determined by this formula: P=gh is the density of water, which is 1.94slug/ft3 . g is the acceleration caused by Earth’s gravity, which is 32.2ft/sec2. h is the object’s depth in the water in feet. a. Determine the units of P by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for pressure listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the pressure on a submarine operating at a depth of 2500 feet.arrow_forwardProblem 1: The monthly payment M of a loan amount P for y years and with interest rate r can be calculated by the formula: P(r/12) M = 1-(1+r/12)-12y Calculate the monthly payment and the total payment for a $100,000 loan for 10, 11, 12, ..., 29, 30 years with an interest rate of 4.85%. Display the results in a three-column table where the first column is the number of years, the sec- ond is the monthly payment, and the third is the total payment.arrow_forward4 We consider the following initial value problem for two functions y(x),z(x): 0=y′′+(y′+6y)cos(z), 5z′=x^2+y^2+z^2, where 0≤x≤2 and y(0)=1.7, y′(0)=−2.7, z(0)=0.5.
