A contractor has a fleet of dump trucks for moving construction debris. The cost of running this fleet is $325/hr per truck. For a given contract, a total of 2,500 tons must be removed from one construction site and moved to another location 35 miles away. The average round-trip truck speed diminishes with its load by the equation: S = 40 - 1.75*L, where L is the truckload (in tons) and S is the truck speed (in mph). Time is also required for loading trucks. The time required to load a truck is given by F = 0.3*(L^0.5), where F is in hours.
(a) Develop a cost function for the total cost of removing the debris as a function of each truck's load.
(b) Using calculus, find the individual truckload, which minimizes the contractor's total cost for removing the debris. What is the total cost? (Be sure your solution is a minimum!)
(c) Does the distance the debris is moved affect this optimal loading? Does it affect the total cost? Justify your answer.
(d) How is this optimal loading changed if the maximum truck speed is changed from 35 to 45 mph or to 25 mph? What would these changes do to the cost of this particular job?
Consider a high-rate sedimentation basin with tube settlers. The basin is 120 feet long and 30 feet wide. The length of the basin covered by tube settlers is 90 feet. The water depth is 15 feet.
A car moves around a curved path that has a radius of 375 feet. While moving around the arced path, the car increases speed by 1.15 ft/s^2. If the car starts from rest, determine the time needed to reach an acceleration of 5.5 ft/s^2.
