The typical Canadian worker is able to produce 100 board feet (a unit of measure) of lumber or 1000 light bulbs per year. The wo

rld price of a board foot of lumber is $20 and that of a light bulb is $1. Draw the production possibilities frontier for the average Canadian worker by manipulating the line segment labeled PPF.

Answer:

Explanation:

In the Canadian country, it is possible that the country is able to produce either 100 units of lumber or 1000 lightbulbs. Then, 100 lumber is equal to 1000 bulbs in the home, and hence, one lumber is equivalent to 10 bulbs. Therefore, the opportunity cost of lumber in the home is ten bulbs.

Thus, the country's production possibilities frontier PPF is a linear combination of 100 lumber and 1000 bulbs. The graphical diagram of the production possibilities frontier PPF can be seen in the image below.

In a constant-head permeability test in the laboratory, the length of the soil specimen is 275 mm and its cross sectional area i
sattari [20]

Answer:

The head difference across the soil specimen is 39.29 cm and the discharge velocity is 0.02 cm/s

Explanation:

The head difference across the soil specimen is:

k=\frac{QL}{Aht}

Where

k = hydraulic conductivity = 0.014 cm/s

Q = volume of water collected = 150 cm³/min = 2.5cm³/s

L = length of the soil specimen = 275 mm = 27.5 cm

A = area = 125 cm²

Replacing:

0.014=\frac{2.5*27.5}{125*h*1} \\h=39.29cm

The hydraulic gradient is:

i=\frac{h}{L} =\frac{39.29}{27.5} =1.43

The discharge velocity is:

v = k*i = 0.014 * 1.43 = 0.02 cm/s

(Gas Mileage) Drivers are concerned with the mileage their automobiles get. One driver has kept track of several trips by record
Effectus [21]

Answer:

import java.util.*;

public class Main {

   

   public static void main(String[] args) {

     

       double milesPerGallon = 0;

       int totalMiles = 0;

       int totalGallons = 0;

       double totalMPG = 0;

       

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

 

       while(true){

           System.out.print("Enter the miles driven: ");

           int miles = input.nextInt();

           if(miles <= 0)

               break;

           else{

               System.out.print("Enter the gallons used: ");

               int gallons = input.nextInt();

               totalMiles += miles;

               totalGallons += gallons;

               milesPerGallon = (double) miles/gallons;

               totalMPG = (double) totalMiles / totalGallons;

               System.out.printf("Miles per gallon for this trip is: %.1f\n", milesPerGallon);

               System.out.printf("Total miles per gallon is: %.1f\n", totalMPG);

           }

       }

   }  

}

Explanation:

Initialize the variables

Create a while loop that iterates until the specified condition is met inside the loop

Inside the loop, ask the user to enter the miles. If the miles is less than or equal to 0, stop the loop. Otherwise, for each trip do the following: Ask the user to enter the gallons. Add the miles and gallons to totalMiles and totalGallons respectively. Calculate the milesPerGallon (divide miles by gallons). Calculate the totalMPG (divide totalMiles by totalGallons). Print the miles per gallon and total miles per gallon.
