The population of weights for men attending a local health club is normally distributed with a mean of 171-lbs and a standard deviation of 29-lbs. an elevator in the health club is limited to 35 occupants, but it will be overloaded if the total weight is in excess of 6510-lbs. assume that there are 35 men in the elevator. what is the average weight beyond which the elevator would be considered overloaded?

186 lbs per man.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have 35 men in the elevator, and the elevator will be overloaded if the total weight is in excess of 6510-lbs, so we just need to take average:

6510 lbs / 35 = 186 lbs per man.

Have a nice day!

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
