Grazing goat problems Consider the following sequence of problems related to grazing goats tied to a rope. (See the Guided Project Grazing goat problems.)
59. A circular corral of unit radius is enclosed by a fence. A goat inside the corral is tied to the fence with a rope of length 0 ≤ a ≤ 2 (see figure). What is the area of the region (inside the corral) that the goat can graze? Check your answer with the special cases a = 0 and a = 2.

- A piece shown by the shaded portion is to be cut from a square plate 128 millimeters on a side. a. Compute the area of the piece to be cut. Round the answer to the nearest square millimeter. b. After cutting the piece, determine the percentage of the plate that will be wasted.arrow_forwardThe tin can shown at the right has the indicated dimensions. Estimate the number of square inches of tin required for its construction. HINT: Include the lid and the base in the result.arrow_forwardCycling The Campagnolo Hyperon Ultra Two carbon wheel, which has a diameter of 700 millimeters, has 22 spokes evenly distributed around the rim of the wheel. What is the length of the rim subtended by adjacent pairs of spokes (Figure 15)?arrow_forward

- Tsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forwardThe following problems require computations with both clearance fits and interference fitsbetween mating parts. Determine the clearance or interference values as indicated. All dimensions are given in inches. a. Find the maximum clearance. b. Find the minimum clearance. c. Find the maximum clearance. d.
