The collatz conjecture: the collatz conjecture, also known as the 3n+1 conjecture (and other names), deals with the following operation to produce a sequence of numbers. given a number, n, if n is even then the next number is n divided by 2. if n is odd, then the next number is 3n+1. the collatz conjecture is that this sequence of numbers always eventually reaches 1. as simple as this seems, it is unproven (and considered extremely hard to prove) by mathematicians. as an example of a sequence, if you start with the number 6, then the terms of the sequence will be: 6, 3, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.write a program that takes in a positive integer from a user, and computes the collatz sequence, printing out all the numbers in the sequence, followed by a line stating how many iterations it took to reach the value 1.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
