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
F 18 8 75

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)

Cite the phases that are present and the phase compositions for the following alloys: (a) 15 wt% Sn - 85 wt% Pb at 100 o C. (b)
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

a)  ∝  and β

   The phase compositions are :

    C_{\alpha } = 5wt% Sn - 95 wt% Pb

    C_{\beta } =  98 wt% Sn - 2wt% Pb

b)

The phase is; ∝  

The phase compositions is;   82 wt% Sn - 91.8 wt% Pb

Explanation:

a) 15 wt% Sn - 85 wt% Pb at 100⁰C.

The phases are ; ∝  and β

The phase compositions are :

C_{\alpha } = 5wt% Sn - 95 wt% Pb

C_{\beta } =  98 wt% Sn - 2wt% Pb

b) 1.25 kg of Sn and 14 kg Pb at 200⁰C

The phase is ; ∝  

The phase compositions is;  82 wt% Sn - 91.8 wt% Pb

Csn = 1.25 * 100 / 1.25 + 14 = 8.2 wt%

Cpb = 14 * 100 / 1.25 + 14 = 91.8 wt%

The intake and exhaust processes are not considered in the p-V diagram of Otto cycle. a) true b) false
vovangra [49]

Answer:

b) false

Explanation:

We know that Otto cycle is the ideal cycle for all petrol working engine.In Otto cycle all process are consider is ideal ,means there is no any ir-reversibility in the processes.

It consist four processes

1-2:Reversible adiabatic compression

2-3:Constant volume heat addition

3-4:Reversible adiabatic expansion

3-4:Constant volume heat rejection

Along with above 4 processes intake and exhaust processes are parallel to each other.From the P-v diagram we can see that all processes.

But actually in general we are not showing intake and exhaust line then it did not mean that in Otto cycle did not have intake and exhaust processes.

Which group might be classified as a gang?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The following criteria are commonly used for classifying groups as gangs: The group has three or more members, generally aged 12–24. Members share an identity, typically linked to a name, and often other symbols. Members view themselves as a gang, and they are recognized by others as a gang.

Why do we care about a material's ability to resist torsional deformation?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(A) Because the angle of twist of a material is often used to predict its shear toughness

Explanation:

In engineering, torsion is the solicitation that occurs when a moment is applied on the longitudinal axis of a construction element or mechanical prism, such as axes or, in general, elements where one dimension predominates over the other two, although it is possible to find it in diverse situations.

The torsion is characterized geometrically because any curve parallel to the axis of the piece is no longer contained in the plane initially formed by the two curves. Instead, a curve parallel to the axis is twisted around it.

The general study of torsion is complicated because under that type of solicitation the cross section of a piece in general is characterized by two phenomena:

1- Tangential tensions appear parallel to the cross section.

2- When the previous tensions are not properly distributed, which always happens unless the section has circular symmetry, sectional warps appear that make the deformed cross sections not flat.
