A civil engineer is studying a left-turn lane that is long enough to hold seven cars. Let X be the number of cars in the line at

the end of a randomly chosen red light. The engineer believes that the probability that X = x is proportional to (x + 1)(8 − x) for x = 0, . . . , 7 (the possible values of X), i.e. P(X = x) = ( C(x + 1)(8 − x) for x = 0, 1, . . . , 7 0 otherwise 1. Determine the value of C. 2. Find the probability that X will be at least 5.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

\mathbf{stress \ \sigma = 264.6 \ Mpa}

Explanation:

From the concept of Hooke's  Law,

E =\dfrac{ stress \ \sigma}{ strain \  \varepsilon}

where;

strain \ \varepsilon = \dfrac{change \ in \ dimension }{original \ dimension}

strain \ \varepsilon = \dfrac{7 \ mm }{4.75 \times 10^{3} \ mm}

strain \ \varepsilon =0.00147368

Recall:

E =\dfrac{ stress \ \sigma}{ strain \  \varepsilon}

stress \ \sigma = E \times { strain \  \varepsilon}

stress \ \sigma = 180 \times 10^{3} \ Mpa \times 0.00147

\mathbf{stress \ \sigma = 264.6 \ Mpa}

Thus, the stress in the pipe at the maximum allowable contraction = 264.6 Mpa

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

(a) The mass glow rate of water is 0.0032kg/s

(b) The heat removal from air is 14.17KJ/sec

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to use the formula to calculate the mass flow rate and the heat removal from water based on the data in the question.

To answer this question, we take values of absolute humidity and enthalpy values from table from corresponding temperature
