Suppose a firm is producing 2,475 units of output by hiring 50 workers (W = $20 per hour) and 25 units of capital (R = $10 per h

our). The marginal product of labor and marginal product of capital are 40 and 25, respectively. Is the firm minimizing the cost of producing 2,475 units of output?

Answer

given,

firm is producing  = 2,475 units

output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour

25 units of capital R = $10 per hour

marginal product of labor = 40

marginal product of capital = 25

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{40}{25}

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{8}{5}

\dfrac{W}{R}=\dfrac{20}{10}

\dfrac{W}{R}=2

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c} < \dfrac{W}{R}

Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.

In 1.71 minutes, a ski lift raises four skiers at constant speed to a height of 148 m. The average mass of each skier is 62.9 kg
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3560.36 Watts

Explanation:

Power, P=\frac {nΔW}{Δt) where P is power, n is the number of skiers, t is time in seconds and Δt is change in time, ΔW is given by mgh where m is mass, g is gravitational constant, h is height

Substituting n for 4 skiers, m for 62.9 Kg, g for 9.81, h for 148 m and t for 1.71*60=102.6 seconds

P=\frac {4*62.9*9.81*148}{1.71*60}=3560.360702  Watts

Average power is approximately 3560.36 Watts

A golf ball reaches a height of 150 m before it stops rising and starts to fall to the ground. What is the golf balls speed (rou
artcher [175]

Answer:

v = 54 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum height of the flight of golf ball, h = 150 m

The velocity at height h, u = 0

The velocity of the golf ball right before it hits the ground, v = ?

Using the III equations of motion

                               <em>  v² = u² + 2gh</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                 v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 150 m

                                     = 2940

                                  v = 54 m/s

Hence, the speed of the golf ball right before it hits the ground, v = 54 m/s

4.A 31-cm long conducting wire of 9-g carrying 7- A current is placed in a uniform magnetic field. What are the strength and dir
Anika [276]

Answer

Given,

Length of the wire,L = 31 cm = 0.31 m

mass of the wire, m = 9 g = 0.009 Kg

Current in the wire,I = 7 A

Magnetic field strength, B= ?

Equating magnetic force to the weight of the wire.

BIL = m g

B=\dfrac{m g}{IL}

B=\dfrac{0.009\times 9.81}{7\times 0.31}

B = 0.0407 T

For Force to be upward magnetic field direction should be outward of the plane of paper.
