Use differential calculus to find the maximum/minimum for an
engineering problem.
A sheet of metal is 340 mm x 225 mm and has four equal squares
cut out at the corners so that the sides and edges can be turned up
to form an open topped box shape.
Calculate: (a) The lengths of the sides of the cut-out squares
for the volume of the box to be as big as possible.
(b) The maximum volume of the box.
A metal cylinder with a mass of 3.50 kg is attached to a spring
and is able to oscillate horizontally with negligible friction. The
cylinder is pulled to a distance of 0.200 m from its equilibrium
position, held in place with a force of 18.0 N,and then released
from rest. It then oscillates in simple harmonic motion. (The
cylinder oscillates along the x-axis, where
x = 0
is the equilibrium position.)
(a)
What is the spring constant (in N/m)?

Blackwater Spring and Metal utilizes the same computerized
spring-forming machinery in its U.S. and Malaysian plants. The
first cost was $750,000 with S = $150,000 after n = 10 years. MACRS
(Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) depreciation with n = 5
years is applied in the United States, and standard SL depreciation
with n = 10 years is used by the Malaysian facility. If the
equipment is sold after 6 years for $100,000, calculate the
over-and underdepreciation amounts for each...

In a physics lab experiment, a compressed spring launches a 36 g
metal ball at a 35 ∘ angle. Compressing the spring 20 cm causes the
ball to hit the floor 2.0 m below the point at which it leaves the
spring after traveling 5.9 m horizontally. Part A What is the
spring constant? Express your answer to two significant figures and
include the appropriate units.
1) A neutron star is the collapsed remains of a massive star
after it "dies". Use the law of conservation of angular momentum to
explain why the neutron star spins faster than its parent star.
2) Consider lifting a 10-lb bag of flour (~50 N) 3 feet high (~1
m). To equal the power of a 100-W lightbulb, how fast must you lift
the flour?
