Vessel V-307 is to be replaced in a plant with a vessel that is designed to withstand a

Vessel V-307 is to be replaced in a plant with a vessel that is designed to withstand a higher pressure and which has a larger volume. Should this vessel be numbered V-307 to correspond with the vessel it is replacing? Explain your answer.

 

Solutions

Expert Solution

Generally, the answer is No. Unless the replacement equipment is essentially identical in function and characteristics to the original equipment a new number should be chosen to avoid confusion when locating information about the equipment. For the case considered in this question, calling the vessel V-307A would probably be ok.

 


No, unless replacement equipment is identical; choose new number to avoid confusion. Vessel as V-307A might suffice.

Separation of Variables: Let v(t) be the velocity, in knots per hour, of a vessel at time t, t = 0. After the second engine is turned on, its velocity satisfies the differential equation ??/??=3?+22, with initial condition v (0) = 2. First use separation of variables to find an expression for v in terms of t. Secondly, f the vessel cruising speed is 25 knots per hour, how long will the vessel take to reach this speed?

A botanist has developed a new hybrid cotton plant that can withstand insects better than other cotton plants. However, there is some concern about the germination of seeds from the new plant. To estimate the probability that a seed from the new plant will germinate, a random sample of 3000 seeds was planted in warm, moist soil. Of these seeds, 2060 germinated. (a) Use relative frequencies to estimate the probability that a seed will germinate. What is your estimate? (Enter...
