A person is sailing in a boat moving east with a speed of 15 ft/s. At the instant that the boat passes in front of a pier, a person located there throws a stone towards the North. The rock hits the water 6sm later, 150ft from the pier. Find the coordinates of the point of impact of the stone with the water, measured by the person in the boat.

EXPERT ANSWER An operations manager can try to meet the customer desires by incorporating the following features as shown in the house of quality matrix. The “relationship legend” is shown in the top left hand corner. The matrix also shows the interrelationships between the “hows ” on the roof of the house. Sturdiness of design …

1. Cloning Problem (30 pts). You desire to stabilize a segregationally-unstable plasmid (the E. coli host tends to spit the whole plasmid out periodically with the loss of the recombinant gene) by adding a locus that has been found to stabilize plasmids by killing plasmid-free daughter cells as they arise (parB, also known as hok/sok). The new plasmid will consist of the unstable plasmid pMJR1750 (see figure) with the addition of the parB (plasmid stability) and aphA (kanamycin resistance) genes of pKG1022 (drawn as a linear piece of DNA for convenience but it is a circular plasmid). You decide to cut pMJR1750 at the blunt ScaI site (5′ AGT?ACT) to inactivate the ampicillin gene, Apr and insert the parB and aphA genes thereby cutting pKG1022 with the blunt restriction enzyme HincII (5’GTC?GAC). Your cloning procedure consists of cleaving each plasmid with the appropriate enzyme, mixing the DNA, ligating, and transforming the ligated mixture into an E. coli host that has the lacZ+ gene deleted (from its chromosome).

The magnetic circuit shown in Fig. P2.8 has a coil of 500 turns wound on the central limb which has an air-gap of 1 mm. The magnetic path from A to B via each outer limb is 100 cm and via the central limb 25 cm (air-gap length excluded). The cross-sectional area of the central limb is 5 cm x 3 cm and each outer limb is 2.5 cm x 3 cm. A current of 0.5 A in the coil produces an air-gap flux of 0.35 mWb. Find the relative permeability of the medium. 1 mm, Ø = 0.35 mWb A A = 7.5 cm 0.5A 122 A = 15 cm 500 Turns 100 cm 25 cm B Fig. P2.8

Question 2[30 marks] 1. List five (main) advantages and disadvantages of a centrifugal pump. 2. It is required to pump cooling water from a storage pond to a condenser in a process plant situated 10 in above the level of the pond. 200 m of 74.2 mm i.d. pipe is available, and the pump has the characteristics given below. The head lost in the condenser is equivalent to 16 velocity heads based on the flow in the 74,2 mm pipe. If the friction factor ø=0.003 , estimate the rate of flow and the power to be supplied to the pump assuming an efficiency of 50 per cent. (20) Hint: The following formulae may assist Head losses: major losses + minor losses H L ​ =4f D L ​ g v 2 ​ +8 g v 2 ​ Reynolds number: R e ​ = μ ρνD ​
