Concept explainers
The worksheet shown was designed to calculate the cost of material that must be purchased to produce a given number of parts. The user will enter the specific gravity of the material, the diameter of the cylindrical part in units of inches, the cost of the raw material in dollars per pound-mass, and the number of parts to be manufactured. All user input is shown in red. The worksheet will calculate the radius of the cylindrical part in units of centimeters and the density of the fluid in grams per cubic centimeter. All conversions are shown in orange.
The worksheet will determine the volume and mass of a single part for a given height. Finally, the worksheet will determine the total mass of material needed to produce the desired number of parts in units of pounds-mass, and the total material cost.
The total material cost appears twice. In cells E13 to E20, a formula is written to determine the cost. In cells B26 to B33, the cells simply reference the corresponding cell in the table above. For example, B26 the formula = E13 appears.
In the bottom table, the total cost for N parts is determined by the formula:
Total Cost = Total Material Cost + (Energy Cost + Labor Cost) × Number of Parts
- a. What should be typed into cell C9 to determine the radius in the correct units?
- b. What should be typed into cell B13 that can then be copied down column B to determine the volume of a cylindrical part in units of cubic centimeters?
- c. What should be typed into cell C13 that can then be copied through down column C to calculate the mass of each part in unit of grams?
- d. What should be typed into cell D13 that can then be copied down column D to calculate the total mass needed to produce N parts in units of pounds-mass?
- e. What should be typed into cell E13 that can then be copied down column E to calculate the total material cost?
- f. What should be typed into cell C26 that can then be copied from C26 to F33 given the energy cost in row 25 and labor cost in cell C22 to calculate the total cost of producing N parts?

- 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? Figure Q3 (see image attached) shows a cylinder and pistonenclosing air, the movement of the pistonbeing restrained by a compression spring ofstiffness 20 kN/m. The air is heated andexpands, the piston moving 0.3 m. Thefree length of the spring is 1.0 m.Calculate the work done by the air duringthe process.If the pressure , volume and internal energyof air are related by the…arrow_forward1.3 Please help.

I will rate you with “UPVOTE/LIKE” if you answer every question. I will rate you with “DOWNVOTE/DISLIKE”, if you don’t answer every question. THANK YOU.arrow_forward
- Measure the vertical distance from the ground floor to the landing and from the landing to the 1st floor as shown below (convert to feet). Record this value on the data sheet, column B. Note: Your stairs might not have a landing – that’s ok. Just measure the vertical height from the bottom to the top of the stairs. Record your weight (pounds) in column A of the data sheet. Multiply column A and column B. Record this value in column C. Measure the time it takes to walk (at a normal pace) up the stairs from the ground floor to the first floor – use the hand rail for support. Measure 3 times and calculate the average time. Record these values in column D. Measure the time it takes to briskly walk (not run) up the stairs from the ground floor to the 1st floor – use the hand rail for support. Measure 3 times and calculate the average time. Record these values in column E. Calculate the power it took to walk and to hurry from the ground floor to the 1st floor.
