Suppose that a disk i/o takes 100 milliseconds. let b(r) = 100, so the disk i/o ’s for computing
what is the speedup if this selection is executed on a parallel machine with p processors, where:

(a) p = 8

(b) p = 100

(c) p = 1000.

Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on q1. define forces pointing to the right as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative. rank positive forces as larger than negative forces. q1,q2,q3 = positive(+) q1 = + q2 = + q3 = - q1 = + q2= - q3= + q1= - q2= + q3= + q1= + q2= - q3= - q1,q2,q3 = negative

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.

Refrigerant-134a flows through a carnot heat pump cycle at 0.5 kg/s. it is known that the maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is 1.1 times the minimum absolute temperature, and the net power input to the cycle is 2.5 kw. if the refrigerant changes from a saturated vapor to a saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine the maximum magnitude of the enthalpy of vaporization for this process in kj/kg (with 3 significant figures).
