Adam is building a computer desk with a separate compartment for the computer. The compartment for the computer is a rectangular

prism and will be 8019 cubic inches. The compartment will be 24 inches longer than it is wide and the height will be 18 inches greater than the width. Find the dimensions of the computer compartment.

Answer:

The width of the computer compartment is 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment is 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment is 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data on the rectangular prism compartment are;

The volume of the rectangular prism, V = 8019 cubic inches

The length of the compartment, l = 24 inches + The width, w

The height of the compartment, h = 18 inches + The width, w

Therefore, we have;

l = 24 + w

h = 18 + w

V = l × h × w

∴ V = (24 + w) × (18 + w) × w = w³ + 42·w² + 432·w = 8019

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

By graphing the above function with MS Excel, we have one of the solution is w = 9

∴ (w - 9) is a factor of w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

Dividing, we get;

w² + 51·w + 891

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ - 9·w²

     51·w² - 459·w

                 891·w

                 891·w + 8019

                             0

Therefore,

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019  = (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0

The determinant of the factor, w² + 51·w + 891 = 51² - 4×1×891 = -963, therefore, the it has complex roots

Therefore, the real solution of (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0 is w = 9

The width of the computer compartment, w = 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment, l = 24 inches + 9 inches = 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment, h = 18 inches + 9 inches = 27 inches.

The density of a fluid is given by the empirical equation rho=70.5 exp(8.27 X 10^-7 P) where rho is density (lbm/ft^3) and P is
jasenka [17]

Answer:

(a) The unit of 70.5 is lbm/ft^3 and the unit of 8.27×10^-7 is in^2/lbf

(b) density = 0.1206g/cm^3

(c) rho = 0.1206exp(8.27×10^-7P)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The unit of 70.5 is the same as the unit of rho which is lbm/ft^3. The unit of 8.27×10^-7 is the inverse of the unit of P (lbf/in^2) because exp is found of a constant. Therefore, the unit of 8.27×10^-7 is in^2/lbf

(b) P = 9×10^6N/m^2

rho = 70.5exp(8.27×10^-7× 9×10^6) = 70.5exp7.443 = 70.5×1.71 = 120.6kg/m^3

rho = 120.6kg/m^3 × 1000g/1kg × 1m^3/10^6cm^3 = 0.1206g/cm^3

(c) Formula for rho (g/cm^3) as a function of P (N/m^2) is

rho = 0.1206exp(8.27×10^-7P) (the unit of 0.1206 is g/cm^3)

Simplify the following question
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

<em>−  2sin(b) / cos(2b)</em>

​

Step-by-step explanation:

DIFFERENTIATE W.R.T. B is a different method entirely

We simply add together the numerators and set with 2cos

then keep this number and add to sinb and square it.

then repeat initial 2 + cosb ^2 but instead of multiplying its add.

Then set the whole division to -sin (2b) squared then +1

<em> −  2cos(b)(3(sin(b))^2+(cos(b))^2)  /  −(sin(2b)) ^2 +1  </em>

10. When a rubber ball is dropped from a height, h cm on to a flat concrete floor, it rebounds to 3 5 h cm a height of Given a r
Xelga [282]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height above which the ball is released be H

This problem can be tackled using geometric progression.

The nth term of a Geometric progression is given by the above, where n is the term index, a is the first term and the sum for such a progression up to the Nth term is

To find the total distance travel one has to sum over up to n=3. But there is little subtle point here. For the first bounce ( n=1 ), the ball has only travel H and not 2H. For subsequent bounces ( n=2,3,4,5...... ), the distance travel is 2×(3/4)n×H

a=2H..........r=3/4

However we have to subtract H because up to the first bounce, the ball only travel H instead of 2H

Therefore the total distance travel up to the Nth bounce is

For N=3 one obtains

D=3.625H
