A shipyard makes a container ship that can withstand the total amount of weight W, which is normally distributed with mean of 600 tons and standard deviation of 60 tons. Let us assume that the weight of a single container that will be loaded to the container ship is also normally distributed with mean of 4 tons and standard deviation of 0.4 tons. What is the maximum number of containers that the ship can load and still have at least a 90% chance to not exceed its weight limit? Your answer has to be an integer

A 200-lb man walks up an inclined plank of negligible weight which makes an angle of 70o with the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.3 and that between the ladder and the wall is 0.2. When the man is at a horizontal distance X from the foot of the plank, the plank would begin to slide. (a) Draw a complete FBD of the system. Find (b) the frictional force on the floor,...
