At an impaired driver checkpoint, the time required to conduct the impairment test varies (according to an exponential distribut

ion) depending on compliance of the driver, but takes 60 seconds on average. If an average of 30 vehicles per hour arrive (according to a Poisson distribution) and there is a single lane at the checkpoint, determine the average time spent in the system. a. 0.033 min/veh b. 1.0 min/veh c. 1.5 min/veh d. 2.0 min/veh

Answer:

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Average time required = 60 seconds

Therefore,

The maximum capacity that can be accommodated on the system, μ = 60 veh/hr

Average Arrival rate, λ = 30 vehicles per hour

Now,

The average time spent by the vehicle is given as

⇒ \frac{1}{\mu(1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu})}

thus,

on substituting the respective values, we get

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-\frac{30}{60})}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30} hr/veh

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30}\times60 min/veh

[ 1 hour = 60 minutes]

thus,

Average time spent by the vehicle = 2 min/veh

Hence,

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Gas is kept in a 0.1 m diameter cylinder under the weight of a 100 kg piston that is held down by a spring with a stiffness k =
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.

Explanation:

For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of  weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston

Mathematically we can write

Force_{pressure}=Force_{spring}+Weight_{piston}

we know that

Force_{pressure}=Pressure\times Area=300\times 10^{3}\times \frac{\pi \times 0.1^2}{4}=750\pi Newtons

Weight_{piston}=mass\times g=100\times 9.81=981Newtons

Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by Force_{spring}=k\cdot x=5\times 10^{3}\times x

Using the above quatities in the above relation we get

5\times 10^{3}\times x+981=750\pi \\\\\therefore x=\frac{750\pi -981}{5\times 10^{3}}=0.275meters
