Chapter 4, Problem 15P
A person at point A spots a child in trouble at point B across the river. The person can run at a speed of 8.6 ft/s and can swim at a speed of 3.9 ft/s. In order a to reach he child in the shortest time the person runs to point C and then swims to point B. as shown. Write a MATLAB program that determines the distance x w point C that minimizes the time the person can reach the child. In the program define a

What are the primary dimensions of electric voltage (E)? (Hint: Make use of the fact that electric power is equal to voltage times current.)
When performing a dimensional analysis, one of the first steps is to list the primary dimensions of each relevant parameter. It is handy to have a table of parameters and their primary dimensions. We have started such a table for you in which we have included some of the basic parameters commonly encountered in fluid mechanics.add to this table. You should be able to build up a table with dozens of parameters
