A lake has a carrying capacity of 10,000 fish. At the current level of fishing, 2,000 fish per year are taken with the catch uni

formly distributed throughout the year. It is seen that the fish population holds fairly constant at about 4,000. If you wanted to maximize the sustainable yield, what would you suggest in terms of population size and yield? Use the logistic growth equation to solve the problem

Answer:

The population size would be p' = 5000

The yield would be    MaxYield = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year

Explanation:

So in this problem we are going to be examining the application of a  population dynamics a fishing pond and stock fishing and objective would be to obtain the maximum sustainable yield and and the population of the fish at the obtained maximum sustainable yield,  so basically we would be applying an engineering solution to fishing

 

    So the current  yield which is mathematically represented as

                               \frac{dN}{dt} =   \frac{2000}{1 \ year }

 Where dN is the change in the number of fish

            and dt is the change in time

So in order to obtain the solution we need to obtain the  rate of growth

    For this we would be making use of the growth rate equation which is

                                      r = \frac{[\frac{dN}{dt}] }{N[1-\frac{N}{K} ]}

  Where N is the population of the fish which is given as 4,000 fishes

          and  K is the carrying capacity which is given as 10,000 fishes

             r is the growth rate

        Substituting these values into the equation

                              r = \frac{[\frac{2000}{year}] }{4000[1-\frac{4000}{10,000} ]}  =0.833

The maximum sustainable yield would be dependent on the growth rate an the carrying capacity and this mathematically represented as

                      Max Yield  = \frac{rK}{4} = \frac{(10,000)(0.833)}{4} = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year

So since the maximum sustainable yield is 2082 then the the population need to be higher than 4,000 so in order to ensure a that this maximum yield the population size denoted by p' would be

                          p' = \frac{K}{2}  = \frac{10,000}{2}  = 5000\ fishes

Answer:

I would most likely have a bag limit on fish and certain seasons that some fish are allowed to be taken out and fished for.

A harmonic oscillator with spring constant, k, and mass, m, loses 3 quanta of energy, leading to the emission of a photon.
Monica [59]

Answer: (a). E = 3.1656×10³⁴ √k/m  

(b). f = 9.246 × 10¹² Hz

(c). Infrared region.

Explanation:

From Quantum Theory,

The energy of a proton is proportional to the frequency, from the equation;

E = hf

where E = energy in joules

h = planck's constant i.e. 6.626*10³⁴ Js

f = frequency

(a). from E = hf = 1 quanta

    f = ω/2π

where ω = √k/m

consider 3 quanta of energy is lost;

E = 3hf = 3h/2π × √k/m

E = (3×6.626×10³⁴ / 2π) × √k/m

E = 3.1656×10³⁴ √k/m    

(b). given from the question that K = 15 N/m

and mass M = 4 × 10⁻²⁶ kg

To get the frequency of the emitted photon,

Ephoton =hf = 3h/2π × √k/m (h cancels out)

f = 3h/2π × √k/m

f =  3h/2π × (√15 / 4 × 10⁻²⁶ )

f = 9.246 × 10¹² Hz

(c). The region of electromagnetic spectrum, the photon belongs to is the Infrared Spectrum because the frequency ranges from about 3 GHz to  400 THz in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Air is compressed isothermally from 13 psia and 55°F to 80 psia in a reversible steady-flow device. Calculate the work required,
solong [7]

Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as

Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}

Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}

where P₁=13 psia

          P₂= 80 psia

Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to  °R

T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67

T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67

=514.67T(°R)

According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R  which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm

Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}

0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}

=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}

= 0.06855 x 514.67  x -1.817

=- 64.10Btu/lbm

The required work therefore for this  isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm
