The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 12 V and standard deviation 0.11 V. If the upper and lower specifications for voltage are 12.15 V and 11.85 V respectively, what is the probability that the power supply selected at random will confirm to the specifications on voltage?

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
