Question
Chapter A, Problem P1AYK
To determine
Compare the prices, suitability and storage capacity of a laptop with predetermined specifications and its further customized upgrade done on the dell website www.dell.com.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Dell is considered as the fastest manufacturing company on earth and specializes in computer customization. Connect to Dell’s website www.dell.com and visit the portion that allows you to customize either a laptop or desktop. Choose an already prepared system and compare its CPU speed, RAM size, monitor quality and storage capacity with the customized version of it based on same parameters.
The system under investigation is XPS 1500 touch.
The configurations of the system are listed below.
| Standard | Customized | |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Dell, XPS 15 Touch | Dell, XPS 15 Touch |
| Cost | $1899 | $2159 |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB (cannot be customized) |
| Hard Drive | 256GB(included in price) | 512GB ($200) |
| Operating System | Windows 10 Home, x64 | Windows 10 Pro, x64 ($60) |
The only hardware modification that can be done in the system is in its storage capacity. The customized system is the one that is more preferred by me. As, it comes with the 16GB internal RAM and the extra storage capacity of 256GB with an increased cost of $200. Also, the operative system is upgraded from the standard Windows 10 home to Windows 10 Pro. It is also recommended from the company’s website.
Conclusion:
Customization capability provided by dell on its products is extremely useful from consumer perspective. A single product model can satisfy the needs of large number of customers who have varying requirements in terms of RAM, CPU speed and storage capacity.

(5) The simply supported beam shown in figure supports uniformly distributed characteristicdead and imposed loads of 5 kNm-1 each, as well as a characteristic imposed point load of 30 kN at mid-span. Assuming the beam is fully laterally restrained and there is nominaltorsional restrain at supports, select a suitable UB section in S275 steel to satisfy bendingand shear considerations. Also, check the selected UB section against the deflection. (40 Marks)
A simply supported beam is subjected to the end couples (bending is about the strong axis) and the axial load shown
in the figure below. These moments and axial load are from service loads and consist of equal parts dead load and
live load. Lateral support is provided only at the ends. Neglect the weight of the beam and investigate this member as
a beam-column. Use Fy = 50 ksi. Suppose that P = 40 k and M = 68 ft-k.

Question 2 (10 Points): String vs. StringBuilder
Create a Question2.java file and finish the following tasks:
Task 1.
a) Create a 1D array of integers to store 50 integers.
b) Store values from 0 to 49 in the array you just created.
c) Create a new String Object using no-arg constructor.
d) Using for loop to add the array elements one by one to the String (one per loop iteration)
Hint: to append an element to a String, use the + operator.
e) Output the String on the console. Record and display a run-time it took to append all
integers to the String (record run-time of 1.d.)). Please submit a screenshot. The
screenshot should match the following example:
012345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940414243444546474849
it took 196708 nanoseconds to append 50 integers to the String.|
Hint: You can use the following statements to record run-time.
long begin, end, time; // we will measure time it took
begin = System.nanoTime(); //we measure in nanoseconds.
// put…

- Prompt I was wondering about the first Summer Olympics after WWII. Who were some event winners and which country took home the most gold medals (also 2nd and 3rd would be nice to know). Response Response A Response B The first Summer Olympics after WWII took place in the 1940s, a bit more than 50 years before the turn of the millennium in the year 2000. The 1948 Summer Olympics were held during the summer of 1948 and hosted by London, United Kingdom. Event Winners: Generating a full, comprehensive, and complete list of winners would cause the response to become unnecessarily complex and lengthy, so I will instead list a few notable event winners for the sake of simplicity. Some notable champions are: Bob Mathias (USA): At just age 17, he won gold in the decathlon. Fanny Blankers-Koen (Netherlands): Blankers-Koen secured four gold medals in the following track and field competitions: 100m, 200m, 80m hurdles, 4x100m relay.
