Two identical 3 in. major-diameter power screws (single-threaded) with modified square threads are used to raise and lower a 50-

ton sluice gate of a dam. Quality of construction and maintenance (including lubrication) are good, resulting in an estimated friction coefficient of only 0.1 for the screw. Collar friction can be neglected, as ball thrust bearings are used. Assuming that, because of gate friction, each screw must provide a lifting force of 26 tons, what power is required to drive each screw when the gate is being raised at the rate of 3 ft/min

Helga [31]

Answer:

a) 2.2 m/s² b) 8 s

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the acceleration is constant, we can use any of the kinematic equations to solve the question.

As we don´t know the time needed to accelerate, we can use the following equation:

vf2 – vo2 = 2*a*∆x

At first, we can convert the values of vf, vo and ∆x, to SI units, as follows:

vf = 65 mi/h* (1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 29 m/s

vo = 25 mi/h *(1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 11.2 m/s

∆x = 0.1 mi*(1,605 m / 1mi) = 160.5 m

Replacing these values in (1), and solving for a, we have:

a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 321 m = 2.2 m/s2

b) In order to obtain the time needed to reach to 65 mi/h, we can rearrange the equation for the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vf = vo + at  

Replacing by the values already known for vo, vf and a, and solving for t, we get:

t = vf-vo /a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 2.2 m/s = 8 sec

Your Java program will be reading input from a file name strInput.txt. Each record contains String firstname String lastName Str
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The program requires that you have the specified input files and it reads from each file at a time and processes salary in digits, states the city, state and bonus with respective first and last name as requested in the question. Note that you must have access to the mentioned output files for the program to work properly. Below is the java version of the program.

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.util.Scanner;

class Driver

{

public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException

{

Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("strInput.txt"));

PrintWriter pd = new PrintWriter(new File("strOutputD"));

PrintWriter prf = new PrintWriter(new File("strOutputRF"));

String firstname = "", lastname = "", strSalary = "", status = "", cityState = "", city = "", state = "";

double salary = 0, bonus = 0;

int incorrectRecords = 0;

int dRecords = 0;

int fRecords = 0;

while(sc.hasNextLine())

{

firstname = sc.next();

lastname = sc.next();

strSalary = sc.next();

status = sc.next();

cityState = sc.next();

if(!status.equals("D") && !status.equals("F"))

{

System.out.println("Records is neither D nor F. Skipping this...");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

else if(status.equals("D") || status.equals("F"))

{

char c = ' ';

int i = 0;

for(i=0; i<strSalary.length() && c != '.'; i++)

{

c = strSalary.charAt(i);

if(!Character.isDigit(c))

{

System.out.println("Char at position " + (i+1) + " in salary is not a digit");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

}

if(c == '.')

{

if(i+1 == strSalary.length()-1)

{

if(!Character.isDigit(strSalary.charAt(i)))

{

System.out.println("Char at position " + (i+1) + " in salary is not a digit");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

if(!Character.isDigit(strSalary.charAt(i+1)))

{

System.out.println("Char at position " + (i+1+1) + " in salary is not a digit");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

}

else

{

System.out.println("Period is in the wrong position. Expected at " + (strSalary.length()-3) + " but found at " + (i+1));

continue;

}

}

city = cityState.split(",")[0];

state = cityState.split(",")[1];

salary = Double.parseDouble(strSalary);

if(status.equals("D"))

{

bonus = salary * 0.125;

dRecords++;

pd.write(firstname + " " + lastname + " " + status + " " + salary + " " + bonus + " " + city + " " + state);

}

else

{

bonus = salary * 0.18;

fRecords++;

prf.write(firstname + " " + lastname + " " + status + " " + salary + " " + bonus + " " + city + " " + state);

}

}

}

System.out.println("No of D records : " + dRecords);

System.out.println("No of F records : " + fRecords);

System.out.println("No of incorrect records : " + incorrectRecords);

}

}

Tahir travel twice as far as ahmed, but onley one third as fast. Ahmed starts travel on tuesday at noon at point x to point z 30
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

6:00 pm the next day

Explanation:

Given that

Tahir traveled twice as far as Ahmed. We say,

Ahmed traveled a distance, D

Tahir would travel a distan, 2D

Tahir traveled 1/3 as fast as Ahmed, so we say

Ahmed traveled at a speed, S

Tahir would travel at a speed, S/3

If Ahmed starts travel on tuesday at noon at point x to point z 300km, by 9:00pm,

Time taken by Ahmed to travel is

9:00 pm - 12:00 pm = 9 hours

Ahmed, traveled 300 km in 9 hours, meaning he traveled at 33.3 km in an hour.

Speed, S that Ahmed traveled with is 33.3 km/h

Remember, we stated that Tahir travels at a speed of S/3, that is, The speed of Tahir is

33.3/3 = 11.1 km/h.

300 km would then be traveled in 300 km/11.1 km/h = 27 hours.

Tahir started traveling, 3 hours after Ahmed, that is 12:00 pm + 3:00 hrs = 3:00 pm, and if he's to spend 27 hours on the journey he would reach destination z at 6:00 pm the next day
