An observer has determined that the time headways between successive vehicles on a section of highway are exponentially distributed and that 60% of the headways between vehicles are 15 seconds or greater. If the observed decide to count traffic in 30-second time intervals, estimate the following:

a. The probability of counting exactly 4 vehicles in an interval.
b. The probability of counting 3 or more vehicles in an interval.
c. The probability of observing exactly 10 vehicles in two consecutive intervals.
d. The expected number of vehicles to experience time headway between 10?second and 20-second.
e. The average time headway of this traffic stream

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
