Homework 6

1. The period of a pendulum, T, is assumed (correctly or incorrectly) to depend on its mass, M, the length of the pendulum. P, the acceleration due to gravity, 9, and the angle of swing, O. Using dimensional analysis, nondimensionalize the period, T, and express its dependence on the other non-dimensional terms.

2. Under certain conditions, wind blowing past a rectangular speed limit sign can cause the sign to oscillate with a frequency w. Assume that co is a function of the sign width, b, sign height. h, wind velocity. V. air density p, and an elastic constant, k. for the supporting pole.

Hint: The constant k has dimensions of [force x length].

  • a) How many (non-dimensional) fl-groups are there?
  • b) Find these non-dimensional groups.
  • c) Can one of the 11-groups be considered a Reynolds number?

3. Consider two different flows over geometrically similar airfoil shapes. one airfoil being twice the size of the other. Also, assume that the angle of attack is the same in both flows. The airflow over the smaller airfoil has freestream properties given by 71.= 200K. p. = 1.23 kg/m3. and V. = 100 m/s. The airflow over the larger airfoil is described by T. = 800 K. p= 1.739 kg/m3, and V. = 200 m/s. Assume that the viscosity of the air is proportional to T1I2 , while the heat capacities of air is a constant. Are the two flows similar?

DISCUSSION PUBLIC ART MONUMENTS/NEA/ PUBLIC ART

1) Discuss the role of the NEA(National Endowment for the Arts) in public art. While the government does not fund many public artworks, the government agency of the NEA does select and provide funds for some artists, museums, artist groups, as well as programs in music and art for children in economically challenged communities who apply for funding. The NEA has limited funds, so getting funding is very competitive. In your opinion, is the role of the NEA important in our government and to our culture? Why or why not?

3) The controversy over the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition of 1982 is discussed. If you were allowed to vote for whether or not the NEA should fund this exhibition or part of it, what would your decision have been? Explain your decision.

OR

Maya Lin’s Vietnam War Memorial is discussed. Although this memorial was not funded by the NEA, the government had to get involved because the memorial was being placed on Federal land. Describe the controversy over her design and the resolution to this controversy. Did you agree with the selection of her design? Did you agree with the resolution to the controversy? Include in your discussion reasons why you agreed or disagreed.

4) History is all around us. Let’s use technology and our enlightened awareness of our world to document and live this history. Let’s use our phones and cameras to document the world we live in. As you go about your daily lives, see if your readings and lecture material sink into your world.

Challenge yourself to think, live, and breathe the history you are learning. If there is something in your daily life that reminds you or makes you think about your history content, document it. (Example: you read about Concept “A” in your text. You’re at work, and you witness something that makes you think about Concept “A.” Take a photo or video of it. Remember that it has to be a real picture or video taken by you in real life, and it has to be taken in THE PRESENT MOMENT-meaning within the past day or two). Give a brief description of the photo (what is happening, where, why, etc.) Most importantly: Explain what this has to do with what you are learning. Photos/Videos must be taken physically by you within the past day or two. Be in the moment, don’t script this, and don’t just sit there planning out a “History Matters.” It should be organic and spontaneous.

Unit I introduced the benefits of markets to improving outcomes for producers and consumers. Unit II examined the role of costs and prices in decision-making. For this assignment, you will answer a series of questions in the form of an essay. Support your answers with research from at least three peer-reviewed journal articles using the CSU Online Library (or other sources).

  1. Research elasticity information for two particular goods: one with an elastic demand and one with an inelastic demand. Using elasticity information you gather, predict changes in demand. The United States Department of Agriculture website has a good resource to help with this.
  2. Describe how marginal analysis, by avoiding sunk costs, leads to better pricing decisions.
  3. Explain the importance of opportunity costs to decision-making and how opportunity costs lead to trade.
  4. Evaluate how better business decisions can benefit not just the producer but the consumer and society as a whole. In your evaluation, contrast the deontology and consequentialism approaches to ethics.

Your essay must be at least three pages in length (not counting the title and references pages) and include at least three peer-reviewed resources. Adhere to APA Style when writing your essay, including citations and references for sources used. Be sure to include an introduction. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Policy Proposal Format and Length

It may be helpful to use a template or format for your proposal that is used in your current organization. The risk management or quality department could be a good resource for finding an appropriate template or format. If you are not currently in practice, or your organization does not have these resources, many appropriate templates are freely available on the Internet.

Your policy should be succinct (about one paragraph). Overall, your proposal should be 4–6 pages in length.

Supporting Evidence

Cite 3–5 references to relevant research, case studies, or best practices to support your analysis and recommendations.

Portfolio Prompt: You may choose to save your policy proposal to your ePortfolio.
