A railroad runs form city A to city B, a distance of 800km, through mountainous terrain. The present one-way travel time (includ

ing time at intermediate yards) is 20 hours, and the rail freight rate is $20 per ton. There is a truck service that competes with the railroad, running over a roughly parallel road for approximately the same distance, at an average speed of 48km per hour and a rate of $30 per ton. A new highway is planned to replace the existing roads; it is expected that most of the traffic will be trucks (auto usage is expected to be negligible). The performance function of the new facility is t_T = t_0 + bV_T, where V_T is the flow in trucks per hour, t_0 = 10 hours, b = 0.08 hour per truck per hour. The railroad's estimate of the demand function is: V_T/V_R = a_0(t_r/t_R)^a_1 (c_T/c_R)^a_2 where t_T and t_R are the trip times (in hours) by truck and rail, respectively, c_T and c_R are the corresponding rates, V_T and V_R are the corresponding flows and a_0, a_1 and a_2 are parameters. The total demand is likely to remain constant at V_TOT = 200 tons per hour. The rail system is utilized at only a fraction of capacity, so its performance function is flat (travel time is constant, independent of volume). If a_0 = 1, a_1 = -1 and a_2 = -2, find the present flows of freight by truck and rail. Make an estimate of the equilibrium flows if the new highway were built. With the new highway built, what would the equilibrium flow be in each of the following two cases: if the railroad dropped its rate to $15 per ton? if truckers were taxed $5 per ton to help pay for the new highway?

An engine indicator is used to determine the following: (a) speed (d) m.e.p, and IHP (e) BHP (b) temperature (c) volume of cylin
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Option (d) MEP and IHP

Explanation:

MEP stands for Mean Effective Pressure and IHP stands for Indicated Horse Power

In engines (Internal Combustion), engine indicator is generally to indicate the indicate the changes in pressure inside the cylinder of an Internal Combustion Engine or IC engines. Once, Mean Effective Pressure of the engine is calculated it further helps to calculate the Horse power and both these quantities, i.e., MEP and IHP are displayed on the engine indicator.

A driver takes 3.5 s to react to a complex situation while traveling at a speed of 60 mi/h. How far does the vehicle travel befo
victus00 [196]

Answer:

x = 93.8 m.

Explanation:

During the entire the reaction time interval, the vehicle continues moving at the same speed that it was moving, i.e., 60 mi/hr.

In order to calculate the distance in meters, travelled at that speed, it is advisable first to convert the 60 mi/hr to m/seg, as follows:

60 mi/hr = 60*\frac{1hr}{3,600s}*\frac{1,605m}{1mi} = 26.8 m/s

Applying the definition of average velocity, we can solve for Δx, as follows:

Δx = 26.8 m/s* 3.5 s = 93.8 m
