To find: The average speed of the car from Chicago to Miami.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
In going from Chicago to Atlant, a car averages
In going from Atlanta to Miami, the car averages
Atlanta is halfway between Chicago and Miami.
Calculation:
As per the given information −
In going from Chicago to Atlant, a car averages
In going from Atlanta to Miami, the car averages
Atlanta is halfway between Chicago and Miami. So, intuitively average speed of car between Chicago and Miami should be average of both average speeds i.e.
Let us suppose distance between Chicago and Miami is
Time taken by car from Chicago to Atlanta would be
Time taken by car from Atlanta to Miami would be
Total time taken
Average speed of car from Chicago to Miami would be
Thus intuitive solution is incorrect.

In order to mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1. Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill. (1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required. (Assume both the dyke and the key will use the same material). (2) If you are a Contractor, how many days will it take to finish hauling the computed earthworks using 3 tippers of 12m³ each? Make appropriate assumptions. DIKE CROSS SECTION OGL KEY (FOUNDATION) 2m 1m 2m 8m Figure 1: Cross section of Dyke and its foundation 1.5m from highest OGL 0.5m…arrow_forward
