Chapter 13, Problem 21P

An object can be projected upward at a specified velocity. If it is subject to linear drag, its altitude as a function of time can be computed as

z = z 0 + m c ( v 0 + m g c ) ( 1 e ( c / m ) t ) m g c t

where z = altitude (m) above the earth's surface ( defined as  z = 0 ) , z 0 = the initial altitude (m), m = mass (kg), c = a linear drag coefficient (kg/s), v 0 = initial velocity (m/s), and t = time (s). Note that for this formulation, positive velocity is considered to be in the upward direction. Given the following parameter values: g = 9.81 m/s 2 , z 0 = 100 m, v 0 = 55 m/s, m = 80 kg, and c = 15 kg/s, the equation can be used to calculate the jumper's altitude. Determine the time and altitude of the peak elevation (a) graphically, (b) analytically, and (c) with the golden-section search until the approximate error falls below ε s = 1 % with initial guesses of t l = 0 and t u = 10 s.

McGilla Golf has decided to sell a new line of golf clubs. The clubs will sell for $895 per set and have a variable cost of $431 per set. The company has spent $200,000 for a marketing study that determined the company will sell 80,000 sets per year for seven years. The marketing study also determined that the company will lose sales of 8,600 sets per year of its high-priced clubs. The high-priced clubs sell at $1,325 and have variable costs of $645. The company will also increase sales of its cheap clubs by 10,800 sets per year. The cheap clubs sell for $340 and have variable costs of $141 per set. The fixed costs each year will be $14,350,000. The company has also spent $1,500,000 on research and development for the new clubs. The plant and equipment required will cost $43,700,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The new clubs will also require an increase in net working capital of $3,625,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 25…
Tri-County Utilities, Inc., supplies natural gas to customers in a three-county area. The company purchases natural gas from two companies: Southern Gas and Northwest Gas. Demand forecasts for the coming winter season are as follows: Hamilton County, 400 units; Butler County, 200 units; and Clermont County, 300 units. Contracts to provide the following quantities have been written: Southern Gas, 500 units; and Northwest Gas, 400 units. Distribution costs for the counties vary, depending upon the location of the suppliers. The distribution costs per unit (in thousands of dollars) are as follows.
