A communication system consists of n antennas of which m are defective and n − m are functional. Suppose the n antennas are indistinguishable and are lined up in a linear array. The system is called functional as long as no two consecutive antennas are defective. Suppose we randomly line up the n antennas. What is the probability that the resulting system will be functional?

An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 490 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's equilibrium location), velocity, and acceleration of the block are x = 0.107 m, v = -16.6 m/s, and a = -103 m/s2. Calculate (a) the frequency of oscillation, (b) the mass of the block, and (c) the amplitude of the motion.

we are given n chips which may be working or defective. A working chip behaves as follows: if we connect it to another chip, the original chip will correctly output whether the new connected chip is working or is defective. However, if we connect a defective chip to another chip, it may output any arbitrary answer (defective---->might say the other one is working /defective). In the class, we saw that if strictly more than half the chips are working, then...

A system with m = 0.010 kg , k = 36 N/m and b = 0.5 kg/s is driven by a harmonically varying force of amplitude 3.6 N. Find the amplitude A and the phase constant δ of the steady-state motion when the angular frequency of the driving force is : a) 8.0 rad/s, b) 80 rad/s c) 800 rad/s. *Be careful, tan(δ) is a periodic function and δ should be between 0 and 180°.
