Chapter 6, Problem 26P
The arrival times of vehicles at the ticket gate of a sports stadium may be assumed to bePoisson with a mean of 30 mi/h. It takes an average of 1.5 min for the necessary tickets to be bought for occupants of each car.
(a) What is the expected length of queue at the ticket gate, not including the vehicle being served?
(b) What is the probability that there are no more than 5 cars at the gate, including the vehicle being served?
(c) What will be the average waiting time of a vehicle?

Trucks begin to arrive at a truck weigh station (with a single scale) at 6:00 A.M. at a deterministic but time-varying rate of λ(t) = 4.3 − 0.22t [λ(t) is in veh/min and t is in minutes]. The departure rate is a constant 2 veh/min (time to weigh a truck is 30 seconds). When will the queue that forms be cleared, what will be the total delay, and what will be the maximum queue length?

To be able to determine internal axial load on structural members 2. To be able to design structural members with axial internal reactions B. General Instruction 1. Write your solution legibly in separate sheets of clean bond paper. 2. Box your final answer in your solution. C. Situation A truss structure is an assembly of straight structural members that form triangular panels. The assembly of triangular panels makes the truss establish a rigid configuration. In a truss structure, connections are theoretically assumed to act as smooth pin; therefore, it does not resist any moment or bending. Due to this magnificent behavior, truss members only resist axial forces in the design phase that could either be compressive or tensile. Presented in the figure is a truss that is a component of a roof framing system to be constructed at the University Lucena City…arrow_forward1- A two-lane highway (two 3.6 m lanes) has a posted speed limit of 100 km/h and, on one section, has both horizontal and vertical curves, as shown in the figure below. A recent daytime crash (driver traveling westbound and striking a stationary roadway object) resulted in a fatality and a lawsuit alleging that the 100 km/h posted speed limit is an unsafe speed for the curves in question and was a major cause of the crash.
