Spring 2024
Due: February 3, 2024
Name Tyler Betts
CWID 11962268 You are encouraged to use the Casio fx-260 Solar II calculator on this homework.
The problems contain digits from your CWID. Consider your CWID as abcdefgh.
So if your CWID is 12345678, a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4, e = 5, f = 6, g = 7, h = 8
If your CWID is 11912345, a = 1, b = 1, c = 9, d = 1, e = 2, f = 3, g = 4, h = 5, etc.
1.
Alan receives a graduation present of $10,000 from his rich uncle. If he invests all of the money at 4% interest, how much will he have in (5 + 2d) years? D=6
10k 17 years F/P=(1+i)^n i=.04 n=17 P=10,000
F=19,479$
2. A company is considering the purchase of equipment that will have an initial cost of
$25,000, operating and maintenance costs of ($1,000 + 100e) per year, and an estimated
salvage value of $2,000 at the end of 30 years. Assume an interest rate of 8%. What is the
present equivalent cost of the investment for the 30 year project? Draw a cashflow diagram.
E=2
P=-25,000$
P/A=((1+i)^n-1)/(i*(1+i)^n)=(1.08^30-1)/(.08*1.08^30) P=-13509.34$
P/F=1/(1+i)^n=1/1.08^30 P=198.75$
Equivalent cost=38,310.60$

3. Compute the life cycle cost (or present cost) of a reciprocating compressor with first
cost of $120,000. The annual maintenance cost is $5000, but at the end of four years,
it increases by $500*(1+0.1f) per year. The salvage value is $25,000, and life of ten
years. The rate of return is 10%. F=2
4. Machine A costs $11,500 and has an annual operating cost of ($3000+$100g). At the end of its 10-yr life, it has a salvage value of $1500. Machine B costs $15,000 and has an annual operating cost of ($1200+200g). At the end of its 10-yr life, it has a salvage value of $4000. At 8% interest, what is the annual net equivalent advantage of the additional investment in machine B? G=6
5. A carbon-steel reactor costs $20,000 and has an estimated life of three years in a corrosive
environment. A stainless-steel reactor costs $35,000 and has an estimated life of 10 years in the same corrosive environment. The salvage value of the carbon-steel reactor is
$2500(1+0.1h), and the salvage value of the stainless steel reactor is $5000. The reactor will be needed indefinitely. Using 10% interest which reactor should be purchased? Why? H=8
To better evaluate these, as they will be needed indefinitely, I expanded the scope to look at 30 years. So over the first thirty years, the carbon steel reactor would cost 68,688.90$ in current value, whereas the stainless steel reactor would cost 50,739.10$ in current value. With that in mind the stainless steel should be purchased.

You are an engineer working on a project and your prototype has failed prematurely. You question whether or not a key component of the prototype was manufactured with the correct material. There are two way to check for the material properties. The first way is to have a material certification done to confirm the exact material composition. This will take some time. The second method to confirm the material properties is to make an ASTM test sample and test for the material properties. This tensile test was completed on a test sample with an initial diameter of .501” and an initial length of 2”. The Load-Deflection data for this tensile test is below. Use this data to answer the first set of questions on the Final Exam in eLearning. A. Determine the Ultimate Tensile Strength B. Determine the 0.2% Offset Yield Strength C. Determine the value of the Proportional Limit D. Determine the Modulus of Elasticity E. Determine the Strain at Yield F. Calculate %…

Hi, I need help with the first part of the problem below because I'm very confused about how P1 and P2 should be calculated. If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon?

1) A low-friction cart is placed between two identical springs attached to rigid walls.
If you push the cart against one of the springs and release it, it will continue to
move back and forth between the springs.

Draw a force-time graph showing the sum of the horizontal forces exerted on the
cart as it moves back and force between the springs.
Scientific Abilities
Is able to construct a
force diagram
Missing
No representation is
constructed.
Inadequate
FD is constructed but
contains major errors such
as incorrect mislabeled or
not labeled force vectors,
length of vectors, wrong
direction, extra incorrect
vectors are added, or
vectors are missing.
Needs Improvement
FD contains no errors in
vectors but lacks a key
feature such as labels of
forces with two subscripts or
vectors are not drawn from
single point, or axes are
missing.
Adequate
The diagram contains no
errors and each force is
labeled so that it is clearly
understood what each force
represents.
Explain whether or not this…

any build-in functions or operators of Matlab that calculate the inverse of a matrix, interpolations, spline, diff, integration, ode,

Problem Description (CCOs #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12)
A water tank of radius R = 1.8m with two outlet pipes of radius r₁ = 0.05m and r2 installed at heights h₁ = 0.13m
and h₂ = 1m, is mounted in an elevator moving up and down causing a time dependent acceleration g(t) that must be
modeled as
g(t) = go+a1 cos(2π f₁t) + b₁ sin(2π f₁t) + a2 cos(2π f₂t) + b₂ sin(2π f₂t),

Please solve question 16-109 below this in the
follwoing way:
• Please include a kinamatic diagram (one for
velocity and one for acceleration).
• Please DO NOT solve this using velocity
analysis (cartesian vector analysis). I would
like it to be solved using scalar method. We
dont use 3D in this course. We only use scalar
analysis for the relative velocity equation
(writing the x and y components of the
equation and solving the equations for the
unknowns). I have attached a sample question
with solution in order to get an idea on how to
use the scalar method to solve my question. I
would like question 16-109 to be solved in a
similar way. Thank you for your
understanding.
If you can solve it as soon as possible that
would be great and I will give you a thumps up
and positive feedback :)

I was going over the equations for the notes in class and I had a thought. Based on the equations in the image, you could get negative propellant mass. So, I coded it in matlab and I got negative mass. How is that possible? I think I used practical values for the velocity and mass ratio and so on. Did I do something wrong?
