Chapter 4.12, Problem 6P
Draw an objective tree for the following: If you drive in the state of Florida, you may notice some traffic congestion when crews trim trees on the state roads and freeways. Assume that the Florida Department of Transportation is the client. Usually, branches 6 inches or less in diameter are trimmed. The allowable horizontal distance from the edge of the road to the branches is 6 feet. The material removed from the trees must be collected and removed from the roadside. To reduce the cost of trimming, a maximum of only two workers can be assigned for each machine. The overall cost, which includes equipment and labor must be reduced by at least 25% from present cost. The state claims that the demand for your machines will follow the price reduction—that is, if you are able to reduce the cost by 40%, the demand will increase by 40%. Allowable working hours depend on the daylight and weather conditions.

Task 2:Objects falling downwards experience two types of vertical forces; one due to gravity and the other due todrag.You are interested in finding a design solution to the following problem:A design of a hemispherical parachute for a skydiver with a mass of 80 kg is to be part of further prototypingand structural integrity testing. To safely perform the jump, landing speed should be no more than 5 m/s. Whatis the minimum parachute diameter required to accomplish your test?Assume constant speed and sea-level elevation.
1. In general, what pattern do you notice between the force due to the gravity of the masses and the displacement of the spring?
2. What is the physical meaning of the slope?
3. Using the slope for each spring, what would be the force required to stretch the spring 0.10 m?
4. Using the slope for each spring, what would be the amount of stretch with a 500 g mass hanging on the spring?

- Answer the two connected questions (Task A-1 and A-2). Provided in the last part are the guides and examples: The process for large-scale manufacture of paper has been largely unchanged for the last 125 years. The pulp and paper industry today is highly capital intensive, and there is an ongoing drive towards process integration, thereby increasing the efficiency of utilization of available process resources. This paper deals with the Kraft process (see Fig. 1) though the general principles described can be extended to other pulping processes. As shown in Figure 1, five water sinks and four water sources are considered for in-plant water reuse/ recycle. Prior to water reuse/ recycle, the network requires a freshwater flow rate of 36,400 tonne/day and generates 37,186 tonne/day of wastewater (sum of the individual sink and source flow rates in Table 1). The freshwater source that is available for service has an impurity concentration (chloride content) of 4.2 ppm, which is higher than…arrow_forwardYour capstone design team is prototyping (e.g. you are building a model to test not a final product) a "fire identification drone. The final product is intended to fly over rugged wilderness areas and look for small fires that should be monitored and potentially fought or contained. It is NOT intended to be used in large active fires. Your subteam's job is to design and build the support frame for the drone (e.g. the structure where the motors, propellers, guidance electronics and GPS, heat sensors, radio receiver and transmitter, etc. are attached) for the prototype. You have access to a machine shop with saws, lathes (for removing material by rotating it and using a cutting tool), drills and a facility with 3-D printers that can print a variety of plastics using fused deposition modeling (this is the technique where a polymer filament is melted and forced through a nozzle to build a structure layer by layer). You will be testing in a summer/fall timeframe so you expect temperatures…arrow_forwardYour capstone design team is prototyping (e.g. you are building a model to test not a final product) a "fire identification drone.

- Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job. Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them. As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke. In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of their concerns. Several people mention…arrow_forwardJeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator.
