Flow rates in the Spokane River The daily discharge of the Spokane River as it flows through Spokane, Washington, in April and June is modeled by the functions
where the discharge is measured in millions of cubic feet per day and t = 1 corresponds to the first day of the month (see figure).
- a. Determine the total amount of water that flows through Spokane in April (30 days).
- b. Determine the total amount of water that flows through Spokane in June (30 days).
- c. The Spokane River flows out of Lake Coeur d’Alene, which contains approximately 0.67 mi3 of water. Determine the percentage of Lake Coeur d’Alene’s volume that flows through Spokane in April and June.

- Water flow at a water treatment plant is often in the units of gallons per day. However, in pipe flows, we often need to express water flow in feet per second. Convert 17,200 gallons per day to feet per second. Round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth feet/second (i.e., 0.0000).arrow_forwardQ1/The pressure drop in pascals (Pa) for a fluid flowing in a pipe with a sudden decrease in diameter can be determined based on the loss of head equation given below: h = 24-11 2g Area A Area A Area A Where: V₂ is the velocity in position 2 (m/s), g: is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s², A₁ and A₂ are the cross-sectional areas of the tube in position 1 and 2 respectively. A==d² Where: d is the diameter (m). Write a program in a script file that calculates the head loss. When the script file is executed, it requests the user to input the velocity (V₂) in m/s and values of diameters (d, and d₂). The program displays the inputted value of v followed by a table with the values of diameters in the first and second columns and the corresponding values of h, in the third column. 2 2arrow_forwardGiven the following function: f(x) = 2x For g(x) = Sf(x) dx, determine g(x).arrow_forward
- The voltage V(1) (in V) and the current i(t) (in Amp) t seconds after closing the switch in the circuit shown are given by: R Vdt) = V(1– e/) i(t) = e, where t, = RC is the time constant. Consider the case where V = 24 V, R = 3800 2 and C = 4000 x 10-6 F. Determine the voltage and the current during the first 20 s after the switch is closed. Create a vector with values of times from 0 to 20 s with spacing of 2 s, and use it for calculating V(1) and i(t). Display the results in a three-column table where the values of time. voltage and current are displayed in the first, second, and third columns, respectively.

The total time for the system to cometo a full halt after power is removed is 4 seconds, and an additional distance of 1.2 meter is required because of the height of the guard gate would allow operators to reach over it.Determine the minimum distance from the guard gate to the closed part of the robot work envelope, in meters NOTE: 1 meter = 1,000 millimetersarrow_forwardEvaluating and Solving Radical Functions A person's Body Mass Index is calculated with the formula: BMI=(weight / height2)⋅703 where weight is in pounds and height is in inches. If a person's BMI is above 25 and below 30, they are classified as overweight. If we solve this equation for height, we can determine how tall a person of a given weight should be if they have a BMI of 25.Our new Function is H(w)=√703w / b where H(w) is the person height in inches and ww is a person weight in pounds and b is the person's Body Mass Index (BMI). Use the function to answer the following questions. Determine how tall a person is if they weigh 225 pounds and they have a BMI of 25 Round your answer to one decimal place.The person that weights 225 pounds and has a BMI of 25 is about .......... inches tall. If a person is 68 inches tall and has a BMI of 25, determine their weight.A person that is 68 inches tall and has a BMI of 25 will weigh approximately ........... pounds.arrow_forward

- The table below describes the average voltage generated, A, in volts by an energy harvester for three days at three different times for each day. Referenced time Day 3. 3.0 V 1.8 V 0.9 V 1.9 V 2.2 V 1.7 V 0.5 V 1.1 V 2.2 V Given that the power generated in millivwatts (mW), P, can be calculated using the following equation: 500A? P = Where A is the voltage generated and R is the total resistance given as 2000 Q. Write a MATLAB/OCTAVE script to store the voltage data from the table as a single matrix, where the days represent the rows and the referenced times represent the columns of the matrix. Hence, in the same script, Calculate the power generated at each day and referenced time. i) ii) Compute and output the overall maximum power generated. Finally, compute and output the days and referenced times where the power generated exceeds 1.0 mW (Tips: You may want to use a nested loop OR the in-built MATLAB/OCTAVE function called 'find' here) iii)arrow_forwardA simple pendulum of length L, has a maximum angular displacement e_max.
