A conference will take place in a large hotel meeting room. The organizers of the conference have created a drawing for how to a

rrange the room. The scale indicates that 1/2 inch on the drawing corresponds to 12 feet in the actual room. In the scale drawing, the length of the room is 3 1/3 inches. What is the actual length of the room?

Answer:

The actual length of the room is 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Scale = \frac{1}{2}\ inch : 12\ feet$

Required

Determine the actual measurement of $3\frac{1}{3}\ inches$

Represent the required actual measurement with x

i.e.

$3\frac{1}{3}\ inches : x$

And we have:

$\frac{1}{2}\ inch : 12\ feet$

$3\frac{1}{3}\ inches : x$

Cross Multiply

$x * \frac{1}{2} = 12 * 3\frac{1}{3}$

Convert fraction to improper fraction

$x * \frac{1}{2} = 12 *\frac{10}{3}$

$\frac{x}{2} = \frac{120}{3}$

$\frac{x}{2} = 40$

Multiply both sides by 2

$x = 40 * 2$

$x = 80\ feet$

<em>The actual length of the room is 40 feet</em>

Answer:

$15\frac{d^{2}y(t)}{dt^{2} } - 441.45y(t) =$ ± $170 cos(5t)$

$y(0)=0$ , $y'(0)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached image

This problem involves Newton's 2nd Law which is: ∑F = ma, we have that the acting forces on the mass-spring system are: $F_{r} (t)$ that correspond to the force of resistance on the mass by the action of the spring and $F(t)$ that is an external force with unknown direction (that does not specify in the enounce).

For determinate $F_{r} (t)$ we can use Hooke's Law given by the formula $F_{r} (t) = k y(t)$ where $k$ correspond to the elastic constant of the spring and $y(t)$ correspond to the relative displacement of the mass-spring system with respect of his rest state.

We know from the problem that an 15 Kg mass stretches the spring 1/3 m so we apply Hooke's law and obtain that...

$k = \frac{F_{r}}{y} = \frac{mg}{y} = \frac{15 Kg (9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )}{\frac{1}{3} m} = 441.45 \frac{N}{m}$

Now we apply Newton's 2nd Law and obtaint that...

$F_{r} (t)$ ± $F(t)$ = $ma(t)$

$F_{r} (t) = ky(t) = 441.45y(t)$

$F(t) = 170 cos(5t)$

$m = 15 kg$

$a(t) = \frac{d^{2}y(t)}{dt^{2} }$

Finally... $15\frac{d^{2}y(t)}{dt^{2} } - 441.45y(t) =$ ± $170 cos(5t)$

We know from the problem that there's not initial displacement and initial velocity, so... $y(0)=0$ and $y'(0)=0$

Finally the Initial Value Problem that models the situation describe by the problem is

$\left \{ 15\frac{d^{2}y(t)}{dt^{2} } - 441.45y(t) = \frac{+}{} 170 cos(5t) \atop {y(0)=0, y'(0)=0\right.$
