In a drag race, the position of a car as a function of time is given by x=bt2, with b = 2.045m/s2 . In an attempt to determine the car's velocity midway down a 400-m track, two observers stand at the 165-m and 235-m marks and note the time when the car passes.What value do the two observers compute for the car's velocity over this 70m stretch?

Monochlorobenzene (C6H5Cl) is produced commercially by the direct catalytic chlorination of benzene (C6H6). In the process, dichlorobenzene(C6H4Cl2) is generated as a coproduct.
?6?6 + ??2 → ?6?5?? + ??? ?6?5?? + ??2 → ?6?4??2 + ???
Given that the molar ratio of benzene to chlorine in the feed is 5 to 1; and the feed contains only benzene and chlorine. Chlorine is the limiting reactant and completely consumed in the reaction. The fractional yield of C6H5Cl is 0.875
. a. Take a basis of 100 mol C6H5Cl produced, draw and label a flowchart. Do a degree of freedom analysis based on atomic species balances.
b. Calculate the amount of feed and product components of the reactor using the atomic species balances. Present the calculated values in a table to prove that the total mass to the reactor is equal to the total mass out from the reactor (mass conservation).
c. Calculate the percentage conversion of C6H6. The value that you have calculated should be low. Why do you think the reactor would be designed for low conversion? What additional processing steps are likely to take place downstream of the reactor in order to improve the conversion?

Process Co has two divisions, A and B. Division A produces three types of chemicals: products L, M and S, using a common process. Each of the products can either be sold by Division A to the external market at split-off point (after the common process is complete) or can be transferred to Division B for individual further processing into products LX, MX and SX.
In November 20X1, which is a typical month, Division A’s output was as follows:
Product Kg
L 1,200
M 1,400
S 1,800
The market selling prices per kg for the products, both at split-off point and after further processing, are as follows:
$ $
L 5.60 LX 6.70
M 6.50 MX 7.90
S 6.10 SX 6.80
The specific costs for each of the individual further processes are:
Variable cost of $0.50 per kg of LX
Variable cost of $0.70 per kg of MX
Variable cost of $0.80 per kg of SX
Further processing leads to a normal loss of 5% at the beginning of the process for each of the products being processed.
Required
It has been suggested that Division A should transfer products L and M to Division B for further processing, in order to optimise the profit of the company as a whole. Divisions A and B are both investment centres and all transfers from Division A to Division B would be made using the actual marginal cost. As a result, if Division A were to make the transfers as suggested, their divisional profits would be much lower than if it were to sell both products externally at split-off point. Division B’s profits, however, would be much higher.
Required
(b) Discuss the issues arising from this suggested approach to transfer pricing.

Consider the following two investment alternatives, in which Alternative II is more economically attractive than Alternative I:
Alternative I Alternative II
Initial Investment $10,000 $40,000
Useful life 5 years 10 years
Terminal market value $1,000 $5,000
Annual expenses $20,000 $7,000
EUAC (12%), approx. $22,617 $13,800
Determine the percent change in the annual expenses for Alternative I that would make the two investments equally attractive. (Enter your answer as a positive or negative number without the percent % sign.)

The Strings Object in particular is full of useful classes and methods. You can parse and manipulate strings using several methods of the String class. These methods enable you to count characters, find and extract characters and substrings, replace characters and substrings, combine characters and substrings, and compare strings.
Questions to answer:
1. Identify three such methods and discuss how they are used. Then use them in simple relevant examples
2. As you research the String class, what are some of the most
popular uses of substring searching in use today?
3. Are there any uses of strings not covered by the String class or
mentioned in the prompt?
4. Are there other classes that inherit from the String
class?
5. How does the String class extend or support the Array class?
