Suppose there are n chairs in a row. We want to compute the number of ways to put 2 students into seats so that they are not nex

t to each other. Assume that students are interchangeable: e.g., if n = 3, the solution should be 1, because the only way to accomplish this is to use the first and last chairs. For both parts to this problem, you must explain why your answer is correct: it is not sufficient to compute a few values directly and look for a pattern.
a. Write a recurrence relation describing the number of ways to put the 2 students into seats so that they are not next to each other.
b. Repeat part a, but now suppose the chairs are in a circle (hint: it might help if you label the chairs 1, ... n, even though they are in a circle without a 'start' or 'end').

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Personal computers:

Personal computers may be useful and lead to productivity as using a computer an employee familiars with is a good thing. However, the disadvantages in some facilities especially ones dealing with customer and information security can include data theft, unauthorized data sharing, uses of internet connection for personal purposes, as this can slow down internet connection at the facility, distraction at work place etc.

Hard drive:

Due to large amount of data that can be stored on a hard drive, it might not be allowed in some facilities to avoid data theft and unauthorized transfer.

Music players:

This might be restricted to avoid distraction at work. Noice in places such as libraries would cause abnormality and poor service delivery. An employee with loud speaker at work would not only distracts himself but also other staffs and customers.

PSP Game Device and other game devices:

Playing games during working hour may jeopardize the productivity and therefore might be resctrited in some facilities and working places.

Electronic digital notepad:

Carrying a handheld electronic digital notepad to the work place can cause lack of concentration and division of attention on work and other personal activities. These can harm working harmony and business productivity.

Video recorder:

In some facilities, this device might not be allowed due to facility privacy and protection from unwanted navigation.

A rigid 14-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid water and vapor at 100°C with 12.3 percent quality. The mixture is th
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Q = 65.388 KJ

Explanation:

To calculate the heat required for the given process Q, we recall the energy balance equation.

Therefore, : Q = Δ U = m (u₂ - u₁) ..................equation (1)

We should note that there are no kinetic or potential energy change so the heat input in the system is converted only to internal energy.

Therefore, we will start the equation with the mass of the water (m) using given the initial percentage quality as x₁ = 0.123 and initial temperature t₁ = 100⁰c , we can them determine the initial specific volume v₁ of the mixture. For the calculation, we will also need the specific volume of liquid vₙ  = 0.001043m³/kg and water vapour (vₐ) = 1.6720m³/kg

Therefore, u₁ = vₙ + x₁ . ( vₐ - vₙ)

                   u₁ = 0.001043m³/kg + 0.123 . ( 1.6720m³/kg - 0.001043m³/kg)

                   u₁ = 0.2066m³/kg

Moving forward, the mass of the vapor can then be calculated using the given volume of tank V = 14 L but before the calculation, we need to convert the volume to from liters to m³.

Therefore, V = 14L . 1m² / 1000L = 0.014 m³

Hence, m = V / u₁

                 0.014m³ / 0.2066 m³/kg

              m = 0. 0677 kg

Also, the initial specific internal energy u₁ can be calculated using the given the initial given quality of x₁ , the specific internal energy of liquid water vₐ = 419.06 kj / kg and the specific internal energy of evaporation vₐₙ = 2087.0 kj/kg.

Therefore, u₁ = vₐ + x₁ . vₐₙ

                   u₁ = 419.06 kj / kg + 0.123  .  2087.0 kj/kg

                    u₁ = 675.76 kj/kg

For the final specific internal energy u₂, we first need to calculate the final quality of the mixture x₂ . The tank is rigid meaning the volume does not change and it is also closed meaning the mass does not change.from this, we can conclude the the specific volume also does not change during the process u₁ = u₂. This allows us to use the given final temperature T₂ = 180⁰c to determine the final quality x₂ of the mixture. for the calculation, we will also need the specific volume of liquid vₙ=0.001091m³/kg and vapor vₐ =  0.39248m³/kg

Hence, x₂ = u₂ - vₙ / uₐ

x₂ = 0.2066 m³/kg - 0.001091m³/kg / 0.39248m³/kg

x₂ = 0.524

Moving forward to calculate the final internal energy u₂, we have :

u₂ = vₙ + x₂ . vₙₐ

u₂ = 631.66 kj/kg + 0.524  . 1927.4 kj/kg

u₂ = 1641.62 kj/kg

We now return to equation (1) to plug in the values generated thus far

Q = m (u₂ - u₁)

0. 0677 kg ( 1641.62 kj/kg - 675.76 kj/kg)

Q = 65.388KJ

Problem 9.11 A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain f
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the critical flaw length is 10.06 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

plane strain fracture toughness K_{tc = 92 Mpa√m

yield strength σ_y = 900 Mpa

design stress is one-half of the yield strength ( 900 Mpa / 2 ) 450 Mpa

Y = 1.15

we know that;

Critical crack length a_c = 1/π( K_{tc / Yσ )²

we substitute

a_c = 1/π( 92 Mpa√m / (1.15 × 450 Mpa  )²

a_c = 1/π( 92 Mpa√m / (517.5 Mpa  )²

a_c = 1/π( 0.177777  )²

a_c = 1/π( 0.03160466 )

a_c = 0.01006 m = 10.06 mm

Therefore, the critical flaw length is 10.06 mm

{ a_c = ( 10.06 mm ) > 3 mm

The critical flow is subject to detection

Find the percent change in cutting speed required to give an 80% reduction in tool life when the value of n is 0.12.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:21.3%

Explanation:

Given

80 % reduction in tool life

According to Taylor's tool life

VT^n=c

where V is cutting velocity

T=tool life of tool

80 % tool life reduction i.e. New tool Life is 0.2T

Thus

VT^{0.12}=V'\left ( 0.2T\right )^{0.12}

V'=\frac{V}{0.2^{0.12}}

V'=\frac{V}{0.824}=1.213V

Thus a change of 21.3 %(increment) is required to reduce tool life by 80%
