Create an FSM that will connect with the 4-bit Counter. It has a switch input that allows the choice of two maximum values (you specify what they are, but both must be greater than 5). The FSM will do the following: A. It will reset the counter. B. It will continuously increment the counter to the chosen max value, then decrement the counter to 0. So, if switch is in ON state then the FSM will cause the counter to increment up to your 1st specified value and then decrement to 0. If the switch is on OFF state then the counter will increment up to your 2nd value and then decrement to 0. (Note: This is repeated continuously, so your FSM will need to constantly check the max value setting as it increments the counter!) C. Output need to be display on the Seven segment display.

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a, b,c, d sharing the medium. (a) stations a, b,c, d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful. when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?

Kirk found a local community college with a two-year program and he is comparing the cost with that of an out-of-state two-year school. what is the expected total cost for one year at the local community college if kirk lives at home? what is the expected total cost for one year at the out-of-state school if kirk lives on campus?

Knowing that the central portion of link bd has a uniform cross sectional area of 800 mm2 , determine the magnitude of the load p for which the normal stress in link bd is 50 mpa. (hint: link bd is a two-force member.) ans: p = 62.7 kn
