Acompany manufactures large valves, packed in boxes. a shipment consists of 1500 valves packed in 75 boxes. each box has the outer dimensions 1.2 x 0.8 x 1.6 m and the inner dimensions 1.19 x 0.79 x 1.59 m. the boxes are loaded on a vehicle (truck + trailer). the available capacity in the vehicle combination is 140 m3. each valve has a volume of 0.06 m3. - calculate the load factor on the box level (%). - calculate the load factor on the vehicle level (%). - calculate the overall load factor (%).

Three friends went on a road trip from phoenix, az, to san diego, ca. mark drove 50 percent of the distance. jason drove 1/8 of the distance. andy drove the remainder of the distance. 1. andy thinks he drove 1/4 of the distance from phoenix, az, to san diego, ca. is andy correct? 2. the distance from phoenix, az, to san diego, ca, is 360 miles. how many miles did each person drive? 3. solve the problem. what is the answer in total?

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
