Problem 64
Involve the just-in-time inventory discussed in the chapter introduction. A further refinement we can make to the EOQ model of exercises \(62-63\) is to allow discounts for ordering large quantities. To make the calculations easier, take specific values of \(D=4000, C_{o}=\$ 50,000\) and \(C_{c}=\$ 3800 .\) If \(1-99\) items are ordered, the price is \(\$ 2800\) per item. If \(100-179\) items are ordered, the price is \(\$ 2200\) per item. If 180 or more items are ordered, the price is \(\$ 1800\) per item. The total cost is now \(C_{o} \frac{D}{Q}+C_{c} \frac{Q}{2}+P D,\) where \(P\) is the price per item. Find the order size \(Q\) that minimizes the total cost.

Problem 65
The impulse-momentum equation states the relationship between a force \(F(t)\) applied to an object of mass \(m\) and the resulting change in velocity \(\Delta v\) of the object. The equation is \(m \Delta v=\int_{a}^{b} F(t) d t,\) where \(\Delta v=v(b)-v(a) .\) Suppose that the force of a baseball bat on a ball is approximately \(F(t)=9-10^{8}(t-0.0003)^{2}\) thousand pounds, for \(t\) between 0 and 0.0006 second. What is the maximum force on the ball? Using \(m=0.01\) for the mass of a baseball, estimate the change in velocity \(\Delta v\) (in \(\mathrm{f} t / \mathrm{s}\) ).

Problem 67
The voltage in an AC (alternating current) circuit is given by \(V(t)=V_{p} \sin (2 \pi f t),\) where \(f\) is the frequency. A voltmeter does not indicate the amplitude \(V_{p} .\) Instead, the voltmeter reads the root-mean-square (rms), the square root of the average value of the square of the voltage over one cycle. That is, \(\mathrm{rms}=\sqrt{f \int_{0}^{1 / f} V^{2}(t) d t} .\) Use the trigonometric identity \(\sin ^{2} x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \cos 2 x\) to show that \(\mathrm{rms}=V_{p} / \sqrt{2}\)
