A car weighing 4000 lb and equipped with a 235 HP engine is travelling along a 4% grade, assume standard conditions and the following vehicle specific parameters: rolling coefficient = 0.012, drag coefficient = 0.46, and frontal area = 22 ft^2. What is the maximum speed the vehicle is capable of on the grade?

At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.
The 180-mm disk is at rest when it is placed in contact with a belt moving at a constant speed. Neglecting the weight of the link AB and knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the belt is 0.44, determine the angular acceleration of the disk while slipping occurs. 180 mm K 60° B The angular acceleration of the disk is 63.1019 ✪ rad/s² 0.
A hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. If the density of air is 1.20 kg/m³ at the inlet and 0.935 kg/m³ at the exit, determine the percent increase in the velocity of air as it flows through the dryer. p kg/m³ 1.20 kg/m³ The percent increase in the velocity of air is %.
Digital Controls, Inc. (DCI), manufactures two models of a radar gun used by police to monitor the speed of automobiles. Model A has an accuracy of plus or minus 1 mile per hour, whereas the smaller model B has an accuracy of plus or minus miles per hour. For the next week, the company has orders for 100 units of model A and 150 units of model B. Although DCI purchases all the electronic components used in both models, the plastic cases for both models are manufactured at a DCI plant in Newark, New Jersey. Each model A case requires 4 minutes of injection-molding time and 6 minutes of assembly time. Each model B case requires 3 minutes of injection-molding time and 8 minutes of assembly time. For next week, the Newark plant has 600 minutes of injection-molding time available and 1,080 minutes of assembly time available. The manufacturing cost is $10 per case for model A and $6 per case for model B. Depending upon demand and the time available at the Newark plant, DCI occasionally…
Eastern Motors Auto Dealership wanted to estimate the average CLV over a 5 year time horizon of a customer who purchases a new vehicle. The average vehicle sells for $28,350 and has a margin of 5%. Based on historical averages, 84 of people buying a new vehicle at Eastern will return for service 9 times over the next 5 years. Though it varies considerably, Eastern generates approximately $89 in margin on each service visit after accounting for parts and direct labor costs. Assume the 5 year value of the service component is $475. What would be the value of a service loyalty program that increased the average number of visits by 2 (over 5 years) and increased the probability that a new vehicle purchaser would return for service by 5 percentage points on a per customer basis?
A cosmetics company fills its best selling jars of facial cream by an automatic dispensing machine. The machine is set to dispense a mean of 7.2 ounces per jar. Uncontrollable factors in the process can cause either underfill or overfill, both of which are undesireable. In such a case, the dispensing can be stopped and recalibrated. Regardless of the mean amount despensed, the standard deviation of the amount dispwnsed always has a value of 0.25 ounce. A quality control engineer routinely selects 36 jars from the assembly line to check the amounts filled. On one occasion, the sample mean is 7.8 ounces. Determine if there is sufficient evidence in the sample to indicate, at the 1% level of significance, that the machine should be recalibrated.
Schware Foundry, Inc., a metal works plant in Tucker Valley Park, Macoya, has long been trying to avoid the expense of installing air pollution control equipment. The local environmental protection group has recently given the foundry 16 weeks to install a complex air-filter system on its main smokestack. Schware Foundry was warned that it will be forced to close unless the device is installed in the allotted period. Kimberley Headley wants to make sure the installation of the filtering system progresses smoothly and on time. All activities involved in the foundry project are shown in the Table 1 and Table 1.1. i) What is the probability that the project can be completed within 16 weeks? ii) What information did PERT (three time estimate) provide Schware?
A series of thefts from your pharmacy area have occurred in the last six weeks. The director of security and the head of pharmacy services now require all persons working in the pharmacy department with access to drugs to clock out after their shifts and then go through a security check before leaving the building. Several employees have complained that they should be paid for this time because the security check is for the employer’s benefit. The director of security and the head of pharmacy services have responded that this security check is for the benefit of the employees to ensure that no one is unjustly accused. Is either party correct? If so, which one and why?
The warehouse management system (WMS) of RoyaTech's Delaware Valley warehouse tracks service level at the warehouse. A service level failure at the warehouse is an event where a customer's order could not be shipped out in full by the promised shipping time. RoyalTech's ordering system prevents customers from placing orders on products that are not in-stock at the warehouse. Therefore, we can make the statement that "the WMS is guaranteed to show 100% service level at the warehouse." Choose the most appropriate statement in response: O True, because orders will be placed only for products that are available. O False, because service level can never be 100%. O False, because resource constraint or human error may delay the shipping even though inventory is available in the system. O False, because WMS calculations are faulty.
A wheel tractor-scraper is carrying a 50,000 lb load while operating on a level grade. Assume no power derating is required for equipment condition, altitude, and temperature. What minimum value of coefficient of traction between the tractor wheels and the traveling surface is needed to overcome an equivalent rolling resistance of 12%? For the fully loaded condition 40% of the weight is distributed to the drive axle. Operating weight of the scraper when empty is 70,000 lb.6.4 (5 pts) A wheel tractor-scraper is carrying a 50,000 lb load while operating on a level grade.
