Ironman steps from the top of a tall building. He falls freely from rest to the ground a distance of h. He falls a distance of h/ 4 in the last interval of time of 1.0 s of his fall.
Hint: First, compute the velocity when Ironman reaches the height equal to the distance fallen. This requires that you do the following: define origin as the bottom of the building. Then use x-x0 = -v0*(t-t0)-(1/2)g(t-t0)^2 where x=0 and x0= (distance fallen) and t-t0 is the time interval given. In this formulation, you are going to get magnitude of v0 since you already inserted the sign. You then insert v0 that you just calculated into the kinematic equation that involves v, g, and displacement (v^2-v0^2 = 2g(height-(distance fallen)), but now v (which is the final velocity is v0 from above) and v0 in this case is the velocity that the Ironman has when he begins to fall, which is 0. This gives a quadratic equation for height h, and you will need to use the binomial equation to solve for h. Choose the larger of the two solutions.
Part A
What is the height h of the building?

Part F - Example: Finding Two Forces (Part I)
Two dimensional dynamics often involves solving for two unknown quantities in two separate equations describing the total force. The block in (Figure 1) has a mass m=10kg and is being pulled by a force F on a table with coefficient of static friction μs=0.3. Four forces act on it:
The applied force F (directed θ=30∘ above the horizontal).
The force of gravity Fg=mg (directly down, where g=9.8m/s2).
The normal force N (directly up).
The force of static friction fs (directly left, opposing any potential motion).
If we want to find the size of the force necessary to just barely overcome static friction (in which case fs=μsN), we use the condition that the sum of the forces in both directions must be 0. Using some basic trigonometry, we can write this condition out for the forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as:
Fcosθ−μsN=0
Fsinθ+N−mg=0
In order to find the magnitude of force F, we have to solve a system of two equations with both F and the normal force N unknown. Use the methods we have learned to find an expression for F in terms of m, g, θ, and μs (no N)
Part G - Example: Finding Two Forces (Part II)
For the situation in Part F, find the magnitude of the force F (in kg⋅m/s2) necessary to make the block move

Also let f(X,Z)represent the joint probability distribution of X and Z. f is defined as follows:

f(2,-2) = 2/15
f(3,-2) = 0
f(4,-2) = 0
f(5,-2) = 0
f(6,-2) = 0
f(1,3) = 0
f(2,3) = 1/30

A kitchen appliance manufacturer is deciding whether or not to introduce a new product. Management has identified three possible demand regimes, with associated projected income for the first year of operation. In addition, if the company decides to produce the new product, it can do so by using its existing facilities, which will cost it $3,500,000 in renovations; or build a new facility, which will cost $6,500,000. Expanding will allow it to make more product and so its potential sales can be higher. The following table contains a summary of management expectations:
| Demand Regime | |||
| High | Medium | Low | |
| Income with expansion | $17,500,000 | $12,250,000 | $3,750,000 |
| Income with new construction | $45,500,000 | $15,250,000 | $5,750,000 |
| Probability | 0.1 | 0.3 | 0.6 |
The company believes that if the new product is not introduced, in the first year of operation the company will lose $10,500,000 in sales to competitors in a high demand regime, $1,500,000 in a medium demand regime, and $0 in a low demand regime.
(a) Construct a payoff table and decision tree for this problem.
(b) Using the expected value approach, what should the company do?
(c) The company finds itself in a difficult financial situation. How does this information affect your recommendation in part (b)?
(d) A consulting company claims it can perform a more thorough market research study. In your opinion, should this study be performed?
(e) The company has the option of constructing a new facility after 1 year of operation. In your opinion, which conditions would warrant an expansion after year 1?
