Chapter 1, Problem 1.15P
A race engine shop has just completed two engines of the same design. How might you, the team engineer, determine which engine would perform better for an upcoming race (a) based on a test stand data (engine dynamometer) and (b) based on race track data? Describe some measurements that you feel might be useful, and explain how you might use that information. Discuss possible differences between the two tests and how these might influence the interpretation of the results.

Q2/ Maria has an online shop where she sells hand made paintings and
cards. She sells the painting for 50 and the card for 20. It takes her 2 hours
to complete 1 painting and 45 minutes to make a single card. She also has
a day job and makes paintings and cards in her free time. She cannot spend
more than 15 hours a week to make paintings and cards. Additionally, she
should make not more than 10 paintings and cards per week.
She makes a profit of 25 on painting and 15 on each card. How many
paintings and cards should she make each week to maximize her profit.
