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.

Determine the design angle ϕ (0∘≤ϕ≤90 ∘) between struts AB and AC so that the 400 lb horizontal force has a component of 600 lb
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

design angle ∅ = 4.9968 ≈ 5⁰

Explanation:

First calculate the force Fac :

Fac = \sqrt{400^2 + 650^2 - 2(400)(650)cos30}

      = \sqrt{160000 + 422500 - 80210}

      = 708.72 Ib

using the sine law to determine the design angle

\frac{sin}{400}  = \frac{sin 30}{Fac}

hence ∅ = sin^{-1} (\frac{sin 30 *400}{708.72} )

              = sin^{-1} 0.0871 =  4.9968 ≈ 5⁰

Match the following items with their correct description.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A. Manufacturers rating capacity ↔  3. Must be marked on all jacks; must not be exceeded

B. Block Used to lift and hold heavy loads, allow them for travel ↔ 1. Place the jack head against this

C. Level surface ↔ 4. Place this under the base of the jack when it's necessary to provide a firm foundation

D. Jack ↔ 2. Used to lift and hold heavy loads, allow them for travel

Explanation:

The manufacturers rating for a jack is labelled on all jacks and should be referenced to compare with the load to be lifted so as to ensure a safe and successful lifting.

In order to lift a load, such as a car, it is required to place the jack on a level surface to provide balance during the lifting task

The head of the jack is placed against the block for lifting heavy objects for proper performance

Which option should the engineers focus on as they develop the train in the following scenario?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

  Engineers can design a train with a regenerative braking system

Explanation:

Assuming the point of the question is that the engineers want to focus on using energy efficiently when starting and stopping, they would likely want to consider a regenerative braking system. Such a system can store energy during braking so that it can be used during starting, reducing the amount of energy that must be supplied by an outside power source.
