An individual is planning to take an 800-mile trip between two large cities. Three pos-sibilities exist: air, rail, or auto. The

person is willing to pay $25 for every hour savedin making the trip. The trip by air costs $600 and travel time is 8 hours, by rail the costis $450 and travel time is 16 hours, and by auto the cost is $200 and travel time is 20 hours.
(a) Which mode is the best choice?
(b) What factors other than cost might influence the decision regarding which mode to use?

Answer:

1. Auto is the best mode since it is the cheapest

2. Safety, reliability, convenience should be considered

Explanation:

1.

This person is willing to pay $25 per hour.

To get the mode, which is the best choice I used this formula

Cost of trip + 25T

T = time or number of hours

By air travel

Cost = $600, T = 8 hours

600+25(8)

= 600+200

= 800 dollars

By rail,

Cost = $450

T = 16 hours

450+25(16)

= 450+400

= 850 dollars

By auto,

Cost = $200

T = 20 hours

200+25(20)

= 200+500

= 700 dollars

From these calculations the cost of Traveling by auto is the cheapest so it is the best mode.

2. Other factors to consider when choosing an alternative mode of transport

A. Safety: this transportation material should be able to get to it's destination without any form of damages happening

B. Reliability: the material should be able to fulfill it's requirements

C. Convenience: in terms of availability per day and also the frequency of traveling time

Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity. The thermal energy concentrated in a CSP plant can be stored and used to produce electricity when it is needed, day or night. Today, roughly 1,815 megawatts (MWac) of CSP plants are in operation in the United States.

Parabolic Trough
Parabolic trough systems use curved mirrors to focus the sun’s energy onto a receiver tube that runs down the center of a trough. In the receiver tube, a high-temperature heat transfer fluid (such as a synthetic oil) absorbs the sun’s energy, reaching temperatures of 750°F or higher, and passes through a heat exchanger to heat water and produce steam. The steam drives a conventional steam turbine power system to generate electricity. A typical solar collector field contains hundreds of parallel rows of troughs connected as a series of loops, which are placed on a north-south axis so the troughs can track the sun from east to west. Individual collector modules are typically 15-20 feet tall and 300-450 feet long.

Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector
CLFR uses the principles of curved-mirror trough systems, but with long parallel rows of lower-cost flat mirrors. These modular reflectors focus the sun's energy onto elevated receivers, which consist of a system of tubes through which water flows. The concentrated sunlight boils the water, generating high-pressure steam for direct use in power generation and industrial steam applications.

A 15-ft beam weighing 570 lb is lowered by means of two cables unwinding from overhead cranes. As the beam approaches the ground
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

I. Tension (cable A) ≈ 6939 lbf

II. Tension (cable B) ≈ 17199 lbf

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the data that we were given:

mass of beam (m) = 570 lb, deceleration (cable A) = -20 ft/s², deceleration (cable B) = -2 ft/s²,

g = 32.17405 ft/s²

The tension on an object is given by the product of mass of the object by gravitational force plus/minus the product of mass by acceleration.

Mathematically represented thus:

T = mg + ma

where:

T = tension, m = mass, g = gravitational force,

a = acceleration

I. For Cable A, we have:

T = mg + ma = (570 * 32.17405) + [570 * (-20)]

T = 18339.2085 - 11400 = 6939.2085

T ≈ 6939 lbf

II. For Cable B, we have:

T = mg + ma = (570 * 32.17405) + [570 * (-2)]

T = 18339.2085 - 1140 = 17199.2085

T ≈ 17199 lbf
