Six housing subdivisions within a city area are target for emergency service by a centralized fire station. Where should the new

fire station be located such that the maximum rectilinear travel distance is minimized? Assume that the total value of the homes in each sub-division is equal. The centroid locations (in miles) are as follows:
Subdivsion x-coordinate y-coordinate Total Vaue (in millions)
A 20 15 50
B 25 25 120
C 13 32 100
D 25 14 250
E 4 21 300

Answer:

Explanation:

Since there are six points, the minimum distance from all points would be the centroid of polygon formed by A,B,C,D,E,F

To find the coordinates of centroid of a polygon we use the following formula. Let A be area of the polygon.

C_{x}=\frac{1}{6A} sum(({x_{i} +x_{i+1})(x_{i}y_{i+1}-x_{i+1}y_{i}))     where i=1 to N-1 and N=6

C_{y}=\frac{1}{6A} sum(({y_{i} +y_{i+1})(x_{i}y_{i+1}-x_{i+1}y_{i}))

A area of the polygon can be found by the following formulaA=\frac{1}{2} sum(x_{i} y_{i+1} -x_{i+1} y_{i}) where i=1 to N-1

A=\frac{1}{2}[ (x_{1}  y_{2} -x_{2}  y_{1})+ (x_{2}  y_{3} -x_{3}  y_{2})+(x_{3}  y_{4} -x_{4}  y_{3})+(x_{4}  y_{5} -x_{5}  y_{4})+(x_{5}  y_{6} -x_{6}  y_{5})]

A=0.5[(20×25 -25×15) +(25×32 -13×25)+(13×21 -4×32)+(4×8 -18×21)+(18×14 -25×8)

A=225.5 miles²

Now putting the value of area in Cx and Cy

C_{x} =\frac{1}{6A}[ [(x_{1}+x_{2})(x_{1}  y_{2} -x_{2}  y_{1})]+ [(x_{2}+x_{3})(x_{2}  y_{3} -x_{3}  y_{2})]+[(x_{3}+x_{4})(x_{3}  y_{4} -x_{4}  y_{3})]+[(x_{4}+x_{5})(x_{4}  y_{5} -x_{5}  y_{4})]+[(x_{5}+x_{6})(x_{5}  y_{6} -x_{6}  y_{5})]]

putting the values of x's and y's you will get

C_{x} =15.36

For Cy

C_{y} =\frac{1}{6A}[ [(y_{1}+y_{2})(x_{1}  y_{2} -x_{2}  y_{1})]+ [(y_{2}+y_{3})(x_{2}  y_{3} -x_{3}  y_{2})]+[(y_{3}+y_{4})(x_{3}  y_{4} -x_{4}  y_{3})]+[(y_{4}+y_{5})(x_{4}  y_{5} -x_{5}  y_{4})]+[(y_{5}+y_{6})(x_{5}  y_{6} -x_{6}  y_{5})]]

putting the values of x's and y's you will get

C_{y} =22.55

So coordinates for the fire station should be (15.36,22.55)

Compute the solution to x + 2x + 2x = 0 for Xo = 0 mm, vo = 1 mm/s and write down the closed-form expression for the response.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

β = \frac{c}{\sqrt{km} } =  0.7071 ≈ 1 ( damping condition )

closed-form expression for the response is attached below

Explanation:

Given :  x + 2x + 2x = 0   for Xo = 0 mm and Vo = 1 mm/s

computing a solution :

M = 1,

c = 2,

k = 2,

Wn = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }  = \sqrt{2}  

next we determine the damping condition using the damping formula

β = \frac{c}{\sqrt{km} } =  0.7071 ≈ 1

from the condition above it can be said that the damping condition indicates underdamping

attached below is the closed form expression for the response

Steam at 1 MPa, 300 C flows through a 30 cm diameter pipe with an average velocity of 10 m/s. The mass flow rate of this steam i
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\dot m = 2.74 kg/s

Explanation:

given data:

pressure 1 MPa

diameter of pipe  =  30 cm

average velocity = 10 m/s

area of pipe= \frac[\pi}{4}d^2

                 = \frac{\pi}{4} 0.3^2

A = 0.070 m2

WE KNOW THAT mass flow rate is given as

\dot m = \rho A v

for pressure 1 MPa, the density of steam is = 4.068 kg/m3

therefore we have

\dot m = 4.068 * 0.070* 10

\dot m = 2.74 kg/s

The flexural strength or MOR of a ceramic is 310 MPa. A block of the ceramic, which is 20 mm wide, 15 mm high, and 300 mm long,
Alja [10]

Answer:

F=6200\ \text{N}\\

Explanation:

In this problem you need to define the force that acts upon a beam in a 3 point bending problem. I put a picture of the problem taken from Wikipedia:

In this problem the flexural strength is defined with the following formula:

\sigma=\cfrac{3FL}{2bd^2}

where F is the force applied, L the length between the two rods, b the width of the ceramic block and d it's height.

The force is then defined as:

F=\cfrac{2\sigma bd^2}{3L}=6200\ \text{N}

A pipe is insulated such that the outer radius of the insulation is less than the critical radius. Now the insulation is taken o
irina [24]

Answer:

the heat transfer from the pipe will decrease when the insulation is taken off for r₂< r_{cr}

where;

r₂ = outer radius

r_{cr} = critical radius

Explanation:

Note that the critical radius of insulation depends on the thermal conductivity of the insulation k and the external convection heat transfer coefficient h .

r_{cr} =\frac{k}{h}

The rate of heat transfer from the cylinder increases with the addition of insulation for outer radius less than  critical radius (r₂< r_{cr}) 0,  and reaches a maximum when r₂ = r_{cr}, and starts to decrease for r₂< r_{cr}. Thus, insulating the pipe may actually increase the rate of heat transfer from the pipe instead of decreasing it when r₂< r_{cr} .
