State 5 differences between a system and a sub system

(Practice) Show how the name KINGSLEY is stored in a computer that uses the ASCII code by drawing a diagram similar to Figure 2.7, shown previously.

Provide suggestions for reducing input volume.

You are a member of the engineering organization for an aircraft parts manufacturer. The firm is considering the implementation of a PLM system. Make a convincing argument for selecting a system whose scope includes CAD, CAE, and CAM software.

(Data processing) a. A national medical testing laboratory wants a new computer system to analyze its test results. The system must be capable of processing each day’s results as well as retrieving and outputting a printed report of all results meeting certain criteria, such as all results for a particular doctor or for hospitals in a certain state. Determine three or four major program units into which this system could be separated. (Hint: One possible program unit is “Prepare Daily Results” to create each day’s reports.) b. Suppose someone enters incorrect data for a test result, and the error is discovered after the system has entered and stored the data. What program unit is needed to correct this problem? Discuss why such a program unit might or might not be required by most systems. c. A program unit has been developed that allows users to change data that has been entered and stored incorrectly. Discuss the need for including an “audit trail” that would allow reconstructing the changes later as well as when they were made and who made them.

When an instruction is first fetched from memory, its placed in the _________________ and then ________________to extract its components.

(For thought) a. A token of a computer language is any sequence of characters, with no intervening characters or white space, that taken as a unit has a unique meaning. Using this definition of a token, determine whether escape sequences, function names, and the keywords listed in Table 2.1 are tokens of the C++ language. b. Discuss whether adding white space to a message alters the message and whether messages can be considered tokens of C++. c. Using the definition of a token in Exercise 4a, determine whether the following statement is true: “Except for tokens of the language, C++ ignores all white space.”

Each CPU produces a series of electronic pulses at a predetermined rate called the ______, which affects machine cycle time.

(Electrical eng.) a. Write, compile, and run a C++ program that calculates and displays the value of the current flowing through an RC circuit (see Figure 3.19). The circuit consists of a battery connected in a series to a switch, a resistor, and a capacitor. When the switch is closed, the current, i, flowing through the circuit is given by this formula: i=(EIR)et/RC Eisthevoltageofthebatteryinvolts.Risthevalueoftheresistorinohms.Cisthevalueofthecapacitorinfarads.tisthetimeinsecondsaftertheswitchisclosed.eisEulersnumber,whichis2.71828( roundedtofivedecimalplaces). Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program to determine the voltage across the capacitor shown in Figure 3.19 when t is 0.31 seconds. (Note: The value of RC is referred to as the system’s time constant.) The program should prompt the user to enter appropriate values and use input statements to accept the data. In constructing the prompts, use statements such as “Enter the voltage of the battery.” Verify your program’s operation by calculating by hand the current for the following test data: Testdataset1:Voltage=20volts,R=10ohms,RC=0.044,t=0.023secondsTestdataset2:Voltage=35volts,R=10ohms,RC=0.16,t=0.067seconds b. Check the value computed by your program by hand. After verifying that your program is working correctly, use it to complete the following chart:

(Civil eng.) The maximum load that can be placed at the end of a symmetrical wooden beam, such as the rectangular beam shown in Figure 2.20, can be calculated as the following: L=S1dc L is the maximum weight in lbs of the load placed on the beam. S is the stress in lbs/in2. I is the beam’s rectangular moment of inertia in units of in4. d is the distance in inches that the load is placed from the fixed end of the beam (the “moment arm”). c is one-half the height in inches of the symmetrical beam. For a 2” × 4” wooden beam, the rectangular moment of inertia is given by this formula: I=baseheight3=12=24312=10.674 c=(4in)=2in a. Using this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++ program that computes the maximum load in lbs that can be placed at the end of an 8-foot 24 wooden beam so that the stress on the fixed end is 3000lb/in2. b. Use the program developed in Exercise 9a to determine the maximum load in lbs that can be placed at the end of a 3” × 6” wooden beam so that the stress on the fixed end is 3000lb/in2.
