Chapter 2, Problem 21RE
You are cutting off a piece of pie like this, where c is the length of the straight part (called the chord length) and h is the height of the piece.
There is an approximate formula for the area:
However, h is not so easy to measure, whereas the diameter d of a pie is usually well-known. Calculate the area where the diameter of the pie is 12 inches and the chord length of the segment is 10 inches. Generalize to an

IN COARAL
On a piano, a key has a frequency, say f0. Each higher key (black or white) has a frequency of f0 * rn, where n is the distance (number of keys) from that key, and r is 2(1.0/12.0). Given an initial key frequency, output that frequency and the next 4 higher key frequencies.
Output all frequencies with five digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:Put frequency to output with 5 decimal places
Ex: If the input is:
440.0
(which is the A key near the middle of a piano keyboard), the output is:
440.00000 466.16376 493.88330 523.25113 554.36526
Note: Use one statement to compute r = 2(1.0/12.0) using the RaiseToPower() function. Then use that r in subsequent statements that use the formula fn = f0 * rn with n being 1, 2, 3, and finally 4.
You are given an instance of a problem where you have an n x n grid
of squares. Each square can be unpainted or can have a hole, so you cannot go
on the square with a hole. The objective is to paint all the squares that do not
have a hole. You start in the square (0,0) which is unpainted. The actions you
can do are: (1) paint the square you are on if it is not painted; (2) move, either
vertically or horizontally, to an adjacent square inside the grid that is not painted
and does not have a hole.
a. Describe a state-space representation for the problem, specifying the
state representation, the initial state, the goal condition, and the actions.
b. Is the state space finite? Is it a tree or a graph?
c. Propose a heuristic for the problem. Is your heuristics admissible or not?
Explain briefly your answer
Later, the student uses the oscillator to create a single pulse with initial speed vo at at the left end of the string, as shown above. The student wants to quantify the observation that the pulse slows down on the right half of the string. The student comes up with the following equation relating the string’s diameter D at a given point on the string to the speed v of the pulse at that point: v=vo(Do/D)
(c) Is the equation consistent with the observation that the pulse slows down on the right half of the string?
____Yes ____No
(d) Using frame-by-frame analysis of video of the pulse, the student plots the speed v of the pulse as a function of the string diameter D, as shown below.
Are the data in the graph consistent with the student’s equation above?
____Yes ____No

- With a fancy calculator, finding square roots is easy. But what if you only had a basic four-function calculator? Assuming that number holds the value that you want to calculate the square root of, the following algorithm approximates the square root of a number: Get a guess from a human Square the guess If the squared guess is within 0.1 of the original number, we will accept the guess as our answer If it is not, try again with a different guess and keep trying until we get an answer that is close enough This algorithm relies on a human to make the guesses, though it wouldn't be too hard to also design an algorithm for making an appropriate guess.

- A very known application in natural language processing is to extract information from a given text. In this lab, you will be able to extract some emotions (Sad and Happy) from a given string and calculate the score of each emotion. You will be given below the words that express sadness, anger, and happiness. For each word, you will be given weight as well, so that when you are calculating for example the score for sadness in the text (string), you can use this formula:arrow_forwardWrite a program that produces a multiplication table, showing the results of multiplying the integers 1 through 12 by themselves.arrow_forwardSuppose you save $100 each month in a savings account with annual interest rate 3.75%. Thus, the monthly interest rate is 0.0375/12 = 0.003125. After the first month, the value in the account becomes 100 * (1 + 0.003125) = 100.3125, after the second month, the value in the account becomes (100 + 100.3125) * (1 + 0.003125) = 200.938, after the third month, the value in the account becomes (100 + 200.938) * (1 + 0.003125) = 301.878 and so on. Write a Java program that prompts the user to enter a monthly saving amount and displays the account value after the sixth month. (You will use a loop to simplify the code and display the account value for any month.) Sample Output:Enter the monthly saving amount: 100After the first month, the account value is 100.3125After the second month, the account value is 200.9384765625After the third month, the account value is 301.8789093017578Note: The computation should be until 12 months.arrow_forward

You aim is to locate it. The only thing you can use to find the location of the rod is makequeries of the form IsPresent (x1, y1, x2, y2) where x1 ≤x2, y1 ≤y2. This returns True if part of the rod ispresent in the grid from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) and False if not. See figures below. Design an algorithm whichuses queries O(log(n +m)) times to find the location of the rod, i.e., the leftmost coordinates and rightmostcoordinates.

If it is 77 degrees Fahrenheit in Phoenix Arizona, then what is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius thermometer? Our input is 77.
