Two different chemical formulations of rocket fuel are considered for the peak thrust they deliver in a particular design for a rocket engine. The thrust/weight ratios (in kilograms force per gram) for each of the two fuels are measured several times. The results are as follows:
Fuel A: 54.3 52.9 57.9 58.2 53.4 51.4
56.8 55.9 57.9 56.8 58.4 52.9
55.5 51.3 51.8 53.3
Fuel B: 55.1 55.5 53.1 50.5 49.7 50.1
52.4 54.4 54.1 55.6 56.1 54.8
48.4 48.3 55.5 54.7
- a. Assume the fuel processing plant is presently configured to produce fuel B and changeover costs are high. Since an increased thrust/weight ratio for rocket fuel is beneficial, how should the null and alternate hypotheses be stated for a test on which to base a decision whether to switch to fuel A?
- b. Can you conclude at the 5% level that the switch to fuel A should be made?

A=_B=_C=_D=_E=_F=_arrow_forwardTsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forwardFind the intensities of earthquakes whose magnitudes are (a) R=6.0 and (b) R=7.9.arrow_forward
- A tank with capacity of 300 gal of water originally contains 200 gal of water with 100 lb of salt in solution. Water containing 1 lb of salt per gallon is entering at a rate of 3 gal/min, and the mixture is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min. Let Q(t) lb be the amount of salt in the tank, V(t) gal be the volume of water in the tank.arrow_forwardThe force (N) during the drawback distance (m) are recorded to be x = [0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 0.50];F = [0 37 80 114 144 167 195 217 235 249 260]; a ) Use a single application of the Simpson’s 1/3 Rule (n=3 points) to estimate the kinetic energy of the slingshot pellet and provide the answer accurate to 4 decimal places.

- Solve An article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering (1999, Vol. 125, pp.59-75) describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59.

A distance of 2122.241m was measured. Given that a frequency of 1.4985MHz was used, speed of light c = 299792458m/s, the refraction index of 1.0003 and that the effective wavelength measures to a centimetre, determine the phase measurement (i.e. Phase Distance and the corresponding Phase angle)arrow_forward
