A Man of mass 80 kg dives into a swimming pool from a tower of height 18 m. He was found to go down in water by 2.2 m and then started rising. Find the average resistance of water. Neglect the air resistance of water take value of, g =9.81m/s2

goods truck arrive randomly at a stockyard with a mean of 8 trucks/hour.a crew of four operatives can unload a truck in 6 minutes. trucks waiting in queue to be unloaded are paid a waiting charge at the rate of 60/hour, operative are paid a wage rate of 20/hour.it is possible to augment the crew strength to 2 or 3 (of four operatives per crew) when the unloading time will be 4 minutes or 3 minutes respectively per truck.find the optimal crew size

(c) Suppose that certain EOY cash flows are expected to be RM 1,000 for the second
year, RM 2,000 for the third year, and RM 3,000 for the fourth year and that, if
interest is 15% per year, it is desired to find
i. present equivalent value at the beginning of the first year
ii. uniform annual equivalent value at the end of each of the four years

(a) Estimating the future cash flows for feasible alternatives is a critical step in
engineering economy studies. Explain ONE (1) purpose of cost estimation process.
(b) List down TWO (2) sources exist for cost and revenue estimation and provide ONE
(1) example for each sources.

A plant operation has fixed costs of RM 2,000,000 per year, and its output capacity is
100,000 electrical appliances per year. The variable cost is RM 40 per unit.
(a) Based on the information given, how many electrical appliances must be sold before
the plant starting to make a profit if the product sells for RM 90 per unit. Use
breakeven point analysis.
(b) Identify TWO (2) types of fixed costs that the plant should carefully examine to
lower its breakeven point. Explain your reasoning.
(c) Differentiate between direct and indirect costs and give ONE (1) example of indirect
cost

Engineering economy involves the systematic evaluation of the economic merits of proposed
solution to engineering problems.
(a) List down THREE (3) key questions while evaluating alternatives for engineering
problems.
(b) If Ali plans to buy new motorcycle and has made survey from three shops, classify
TWO (2) monetary and TWO (2) non-monetary factor that he need to consider
before buying the motorcycle

Suppose, for a family of logic components, VIL is 0.6V and
VIH is 1.2V. What voltages are required for VOL and VOH to provide a noise
margin of 0.2V?

Suppose a factory has a vat with a sensor that outputs 1
when the vat is empty, a 0 otherwise. The vat also has a pump to empty it, and
a control switch to activate the pump. Devise a circuit that turns the pump on
when the switch is set to activate the pump and the vat is not empty.
