Here we celebrate the power of algebra as a powerful way of finding unknown quantities by naming them, of expressing infinitely many relationships and connections clearly and succinctly, and of uncovering pattern and structure.

- Solve these prism and cylinder exercises. Where necessary, round the answers to 2 decimal places unless otherwise specified. A vessel in the shape of a right circular cone has a capacity of 0.690 liter. The base diameter is 12.30 centimeters. What is the height of the vessel? One liter contains 1000 cubic centimeters.arrow_forwardA piece in the shape of a pyramid with a regular octagon (eight sided) base is machined from a solid block of bronze. Each side of the octagon base is 9.36 inches long. The height of the piece is 7.08 inches. The octagon base area 4.829, where s is the length of a side of the octagon. a. Determine the volume of the piece. Round the answer to the nearest cubic inch. b. Determine the weight of the piece. Round the answer to the nearest pound. Note: One cubic foot of the bronze used weighs 547.9 pounds per cubic foot.arrow_forwardCompute the following problems. Express the answers to the nearer whole number. Use C=3.1416DN12 or DN12 for customary units and C=3.1416DN1000 or DN1000 for metric units. A finishing cut is taken on a brass workpiece using a 100-millimeter diameter carbon steel milling cutter. What is the cutting speed when the cutter is run at 86 r/min?arrow_forward
- Compute the following problems. Express the answers to the nearer whole number. Use C=3.1416DN12 or DN12 for customary units and C=3.1416DN1000 or DN1000 for metric units. What is the surface speed of a 16-inch diameter surface grinder wheel running at1194 rpm?arrow_forwardForming a pen We want to form a rectangle pen of area 100 square feet. One side of the pen is to be formed by an existing buliding and the other three sides by a fence see Figure 2.106. Let W be the length, in feet, of the sides of the rectangle perpendicular to the buliding, and let L be the length, in feet, of the other side. Figure 2.106 a.Find a formula for the total amount of fence needed in terms of W and L b. Express, as an equation involving W and L, the requirement that the area be 100 square feet. c.Solve the equation you found in part b for L. d.Use your answers to parts a and c to find a formula for F, the total amount, in feet, of fence needed, as a function of W alone. e.Make a graph of F versus W. f.Determine the dimension of the rectangle that requires a minimum amount of fence.arrow_forwardThe carbon content of machine steel for gages usually ranges from 0.15% to 0.25%. Round the answers for a and b to 2 decimal places. a. What is the minimum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel? b. What is the maximum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel?arrow_forward

A high-speed steel milling cutter with a 1.750-inch diameter and a cutting speed of 40 feet per minute is used for a roughing operation on an annealed chromium-nickel steel workpiece. Find the revolutions per minute.arrow_forwardCompute the following problems. Express the answers to the nearest whole number. Use N=12C3.1416D or 12CD for customary units and N=1000C3.1416D or 1000CD for metric units. An annealed cast iron housing is drilled with a cutting speed of 20 meters per minute using a 22-millimeter diameter carbon steel drill. Find the revolutions per minute.arrow_forwardA soda can is made from 40 square inches of aluminum. Let x denote the radius of the top of the can, and let h denote the height, both in inches. a. Express the total surface area S of the can, using x and h. Note: The total surface area is the area of the top plus the area of the bottom plus the area of the cylinder. b. Using the fact that the total area is 40 square inches, express h in terms of x. c. Express the volume V of the can in terms of x.arrow_forward
