Amanufacturer provides a warranty against failure of a carbon steel product within the first 30 days after sale. out of 1000 sold, 10 were found to have failed by corrosion during the warranty period. total cost of replacement for each failed product is approximately $100,000, including the cost of environ-mental clean-up, loss of product, downtime, repair, and replacement.(a) calculate the risk of failure by corrosion, in dollars.(b) if a corrosion-resistant alloy would prevent failure by corrosion, is an incremental cost of $100 to manufacture the product using such an alloy justified? what would be the maximum incremental cost that would be justified in using an alloy that would prevent failures by corrosion?

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

The freezing and boiling point of a substance changes as the air pressure around it changes. for example, at a lower air pressure (higher altitude) it is easier for water molecules to escape from liquid into the air. in a high altitude city such as denver, colorado compared to a sea-level city such as houston, texas, water
