Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 10ICA
You are assessing the price of various components from different vendors and wish to find the least expensive vendor for each component. The prices of the parts from each vendor are stored in a matrix, VendCost. Each row corresponds to a specific vendor and each column corresponds to a specific component. If a specific part is not offered by a vendor, the corresponding entry will be –1.
Write a program that will determine which vendor offers the cheapest price for each component, and place the results in a two matrix Cheapest with the same number of columns as there are columns in VendCost. Each entry in the first row of Cheapest. Should be an integer corresponding to the row number of the vendor with the cheapest price for the correspondent, and the entries in row 2 should contain the lowest price for that component. You may assume that each part is available from at least one of the listed vendors. If two or more vendors offer a component at the same lowest price, you may choose either one.
You may not use the built-in min function or other similar functions to solve this problem. You may not use direct matrix operations to solve this problem; you must do it using for loops (in a meaningful way). Your solution must work for any number of vendors and any number of components. Example:

The belt suddenly starts in an upward direction so that slipping instantly occurs between the belt and the boxes. The kinetic friction coefficients between the belt and the boxes are μk,A = 0.3 and μk,B = 0.32. Determine the initial acceleration of each box. Will the blocks stay together, or separate? 80 lb 100 lb A B 15° Hint: to see if the boxes stay together or separate, first assume they separate, and see if their resulting motion (acceleration) validates that assumption. If the their motion is not consistent with the assumption of separation, then they must stay together.arrow_forwardAn ideal gas is enclosed in a cylinder which has a movable piston. The gas is heated, resulting in an increase in temperature of the gas, and work is done by the gas on the piston so that the pressure remains constant. a) Is the work done by the gas negative, positive or zero? b) From a microscopic view, how is the internal energy of the gas molecules affected? c) Is the heat less than, greater than or equal to the work?
