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.

How do scientists and engineers use math to help them?
VikaD [51]
Math (e.g., algebra, geometry, calculus, computer computation) is used both as a tool to create mathematical models that describe physical phenomena and as a tool to evaluate the merit of different possible solutions. ... In engineering, math and science are tools used within the engineering design process.
Biologists use math as they plot graphs to help them understand equations, run small “trial and error” tests with some sample numbers when developing algorithms, and use the R project for analyzing protein sequences and structures. Electrical engineers use math in many ways in their career. They use math to help design and test electrical equipment. They use math to calculate amp and volt requirements for electrical projects. They use math in creating computer simulations and designs for new products.

Match the test to the property it measures.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a. Rockwell              3. hardness

b. Instron                 2. stress vs strain

c. Charpy                 1. impact strength

d. Fatigue                4. Endurance Limit

e. Brinell                  3. hardness

f. Izod                      1. impact strength

Explanation:

Izod and Charpy are the impact strength testing procedure of a material in which a heavy hammer is attached to an arm is released to impact on the test specimen. In Izod test the specimen with v-notch is held vertical with the notch facing outward while in Charpy test the specimen is supported horizontally with notch facing inward to the impacting hammer.

Instron testing system does universal testing of the material which gradually applies the load recording all the stresses and the corresponding strains until the material fails.

Fatigue is the property of a material due to which it fails under the repeated cyclic loading by the initiation and propagation of cracks. The property of a material resist failure subjected to infinite number of repeated cyclic loads below a certain stress limit.

Rockwell and Brinell are the hardness testing methods. In Rockwell test an intender ball is firstly pressed against the specimen using minor load for a certain time and then a major load is pressed against it for a certain time. After the intender is removed the depth of impression on the surface is measured while in case of Brinell hardness we apply only one load against the intender ball for a certain time and after its removal the radius of impression is measured.

What is a ton of refrigeration?
AURORKA [14]

Explanation:

The unit refrigeration is generally is given in terms of tons.In refrigeration compressor consume some amount of work to produce the cooling effect  with the help of evaporator and condenser.

In the simple words ton is the cooling load of refrigeration system.

So  

1 ton = 3.5 KW

1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hr
