Chapter 2.8, Problem 1P
Table 2.3 breaks down the number of major jobs or activities involved in painting a two-story house.
- a. Develop a CPM network.
- b. Determine the critical path of the network.
- c. Determine the expected project’s duration time period.
Table 2.3: Problem 1
(a)
Expert Solution
To determine
A CPM network.
Explanation of Solution
The CPM network for the data given in the Table 2.3 is shown below:
(b)
Expert Solution
To determine
The critical path of the network.
Answer to Problem 1P
The critical path activities are as follows.
| Critical Paths |
| A-B-D-E-G-H-I-K |
| A-B-D-E-G-H-J-K |
| A-C-D-E-G-H-I-K |
| A-C-D-E-G-H-J-K |
Explanation of Solution
Using Excel spread sheet the network path is framed and its critical path is identified and shown below:
| Activity | Early Start Time | Early Finish Time |
| Duration | Late Start Time | Late Finish Time |
| Float/Slack |
Formula:
The identified network paths are shown below with duration:
| Paths | Duration |
| A-B-D-E-F-H-J-K | 23 |
| A-B-D-E-G-H-I-K | 26 |
| A-B-D-E-G-H-J-K | 26 |
| A-C-D-E-F-H-I-K | 23 |
| A-C-D-E-F-H-J-K | 23 |
| A-C-D-E-G-H-I-K | 26 |
| A-C-D-E-G-H-J-K | 26 |
The path with the longest duration is the critical path. Hence, the critical path activities are as follows.
| Critical Paths |

| A-B-D-E-G-H-J-K |
| A-C-D-E-G-H-I-K |
| A-C-D-E-G-H-J-K |
(c)
Expert Solution
To determine

Two toggles (ABC and DEF) transfer forces from the central hydraulic cylinder (H) to the plates that will be formed. The toggles then push bar G to the right, which then presses a plate (p) into the cavity, thus shaping it. In this case, the plate becomes a section of a sphere. If the hydraulic cylinder can produce a maximum force of F = 10 kN, then what is the maximum P value (i.e. Pmax) that can be applied to the plate when θ = 35°? Also, what are the compressive forces in the toggle rods in that situation? Finally, what happens to Pmax and the forces in the rods as θ decreases in magnitude?arrow_forwardDetermine the magnitude of the minimum force P needed to prevent the 20 kg uniform rod AB from sliding.
