Course syllabus for ES 1060

Use the proper form and the engineering method to solve the following: Calculate the lenght of side AB of triangle ABC given taht side AC = 3,600 m, A = 31 degrees, and B = 23 degrees. Do problem 2.5 from text, "Introduction to Engineering Problem Solving" Finish Problem 2.19 in textbook; Do problem 2.20 in text, "Introduction to Engineering Problem Solving" 2.19: To cross a river that is 1 km wide, with a current of 6 km/h, a novice boat skipper holds the bow of the boat perpendicular to the far riverbank, intending to cross to a point directly across the river from the launch point. At what position will the boat actually contact the far bank? What direction should the boadt have been headed to actually reach a point directly across from the launch dock? The boat is capable of making 10 km/h. 2.20 What heading must a pilot fly to compensate for a 125 km/h west wind to have a ground track that is due south? The aircraft cruise speed is 600. Km/h. Do Problem 3.1 in the textbook 3.1: The table shows data from a trial run on the Utah salt flats made by an experimantal turbine-powered vehicle: time, t, s Velocity, V, m/s 10.0 15.1 20.0 32.2 30.0 63.4 40.0 84.5 50.0 118.0 60.0 139.0 a. Plot (graph) the data on rectangular graph paper (e.g., engineering comp paper). b. Determine the equation of the line. c. What is the slope of the line? What does this mean? Do problems 3.17 and 3.18 in textbook data for 3.18 is also included here Do problem 4.1 (all) and 4.3 (a,b,c and f,g,h) 4.6 A pressure gauge on an air tank reads 210 pounds per square inch (psi). the face of the gauge says +/-3% at 180 psi. a. What is the range of air pressure in the tank when the gauge reads 210 psi? b. What is the range of air pressure in the tank when the gauge reads 87 psi! 4.28 ESTIMATE the number of soccer balls that can be stored in a railroad box car. (DO THE MATH!)

I have emailed a data set to your student email account to use with the following problem:
 * HW SET #7: Due Thursday October 7, 2010**

Problem #1 (and only for this set) 6.6 in the text book: The output of a gas furnace has large quantities of carbon dioxide, which must be monitored carefully. The table I emailed to you gives the percentage of carbon dioxide in the output, with samples taken every nine seconds. a. Compute the mean, median, and mode of the data b. Compute the standard deviation of the data c. Group these measurements into equal classes, and construct a frequency distrubution table for the data.
