Suppose you are going on a road trip with friends. unfortunately, your headlights are broken, so you can only drive in the daytime. therefore, on any given day you can drive no more than d miles. you have a map with n different hotels and the distances from your start point to each hotel x1< x2< < xn. your final destination is the last hotel. describe an efficient greedy algorithm that determines which hotels you should stay in if you want to minimize the number of days it takes you to get to your destination. what is the running time of your algorithm?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.
