A loop (Fig. 4.23) is formed by two parallel conductors connected by a solenoid with inductance L and a conducting rod of mass m which can freely (without friction) slide over the conductors. The conductors are located in a horizontal plane in a uniform vertical magnetic field with induction B. The...
In Italy, winnings from casinos situated in Italy were exempt from income taxation to the extent that their taxation was included in an entertainment tax. However, winnings from casinos situated outside of Italy were subject to income tax. As a result, only winnings obtained in casinos situated...
Consider a problem with two decision variables, x1 and x2, which represent the levels of activities 1 and 2, respectively. For each variable, the permissible values are 0, 1, and 2, where the feasible combinations of these values for the two variables are determined from a variety of constraints....

(1 point) A study of American girls ages 4-13 in the 90\" percentile according to their height found that their height h (in cm) as a function of their age a (in years) satisfies the equation h(a) = 6.45a + 82.1. The same study found that their weight W (in g) as a function of their height is given...

A 700-N force P is applied at point A of a structural member. Replace P with (a) An equivalent force-couple system at C, (b) An equivalent system consisting of a vertical force at B and a second force at D.
A landscaper tries to plumb a tree by applying a 54-lb force as shown. Two helpers then attempt to plumb the same tree, with one pulling at B and the other pushing with a parallel force at C. Determine these two forces so that they are equivalent to the single 54-lb force shown in the figure.
