1) Three resistors are connected in parallel with values R1 = 100 ohms, R2 = 75 ohms, and R3 = 150 ohms. Determine the equivalent resistance of the circuit by substituting into the following equation. Do not use a calculator and show all work.
1 𝑅#$
= 1 𝑅& + 1 𝑅( + 1 𝑅)
2) The number of responses needed to ensure the validity of survey data is given as,
𝑛 = 𝑍(𝑃 1 − 𝑃
𝑑(
where Z is the confidance level, P is the standard deviation, and d is the margin of error. Calculate n if Z = 1.96, P = 0.6, and d = 4%. 3) A company rejects 3 parts for every 47 acceptable parts. If 10,000 total parts are manufactured, how many parts will be rejected? 4) What percentage of the parts found in Question #3 are rejected? Accepted? 5) The overall spring rate of performance shocks for an offroad vehicle can be calculated using
𝑘#$ = 1
1 𝑘& + 1𝑘(
+ 𝑘)
If k1 = 10 N/m, k2 = 15 N/m, and k3 = 12 N/m, calculated the equivalent spring constant. Do not use a calculator and show all work. 6) Two gears have diameters D1 = 60 mm and D2 = 90 mm. How many teeth should gear 2 have gear 1 has 30 teeth? Recall, D1/D2 = N1/N2.
