Scientists have identified that the rate of deaths in a country can be correlated to the density of the population (#people/area), the average age and weight of the population, the average work commute and he net mass flow rate of people in & out of the country.

(a) Apply dimensional analysis to this problem and find the minimal number of dimensionless groups needed to describe and understand the available data.

(b) Discuss the findings and what conclusion may be drawn out of the analysis.

Solutions

Expert Solution

From the dimension analysis we conclude that death rate is directly proportional to density of population, work commute and weight of the population ; inversely proportional to average age of people and mass flow rate.

Scientists recently identified an extrachromosomal element in a Salmonella bacterium. They suspected that this element is linear. As this goes against the common line of thinking in bacterial genetics, they will have to accumulate a significant body of experimental evidence to support this hypothesis, before it is accepted in the field. Explain why the existence of a linear bacterial extrachromosomal element goes against common knowledge in bacterial genetics. Propose two experiments that the scientists might use to obtain data to...

Suppose that two factors have been identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 2%, and IR 2.5%. A stock with a beta of 2.4 on IP and 1.7 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 11%. If industrial production actually grows by 7%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 4.5%, what is your revised estimate of the expected...

This assignment is about unemployment rate. Select an economy, it can be a country, a state, a city (you can use the data of a US city or a US state, but not the US national data). Find a chart of the unemployment rate of that economy over the years. Highlight two periods which show significant changes of the unemployment rate, and discuss the underlying reasons for the changes. Finally, discuss what we can learn from the unemployment data. Remember...
