Suppose a firm is producing 2,475 units of output by hiring 50 workers (W = $20 per hour) and 25 units of capital (R = $10 per h

Neko [114]

Answer

given,

firm is producing = 2,475 units

output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour

25 units of capital R = $10 per hour

marginal product of labor = 40

marginal product of capital = 25

$\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{40}{25}$

$\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{8}{5}$

$\dfrac{W}{R}=\dfrac{20}{10}$

$\dfrac{W}{R}=2$

$\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c} < \dfrac{W}{R}$

Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is $\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer diameter of the pipe is $d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m$

The thickness is $D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m$

The temperature of water is $T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K$

The outside air temperature is $T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K$

The water side heat transfer coefficient is $z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K$

The heat transfer coefficient is $z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1} + \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}$

Substituting values

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300} + \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{628}{0.2107}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

A vertical spring has a length of 0.25 m when a 0.175 kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.775 m when a 2.075 kg mass hangs

Contact [7]

Answer:

A) 35.5N/m b) 20.1cm

Explanation:

Using Hooke's law;

F = Ke where F is the weight of the object = mass of the object in kg * acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2 and k if the force constant of the spring in N/m and e is the extension of the spring which original length of the spring - new length after extension in meters

For the first body, m*g = K * (0.25- li)

Where li is the initial length of the spring

0.175*9.81 = k(0.25-li)

1.72 = k(0.25-li) as equation 1

For the second body, m *g = K* ( 0.775-li)

2.075*9.81 = k (0.775-li) equation 2

20.36 = k(0.775-li)

Make li subject of the formula;

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

Substitute for li in equation 1

1.72 = k(0.25- (0.775 - 20.36/k))

1.72 = k ( 0.25 - 0.775 + 20.36/k)

Open the bracket with k

1.72 = 0.25k - 0.775k + 20.36 (since k cancel k)

Collect the like terms:

1.72 - 20.36 = - 0.525k

- 18.64 = -0.525k

Divide both side by -0.525

-18.64/-0.525 = -0.525/-0.525k

K = 35.5N/m

B) substitute for k in using

li = 0.775 - 20.36/k

li = 0.775 - 20.36/35.5

li = 0.775 - 0.574

li = 0.201 in meters

li = 0.201 * 100 centimeters = 20.1cm
