Although other important factors must be considered to determine the number of locomotive(s) required to pull a train up a hill, the power required just to "lift" the train in a gravitational field can be computed from: where power, mass, rate of elevation increase h h p mg p m t t   = = = =   . in north america, most railroad lines have a maximum grade of 1%: 1 ft of rise for every 100 ft of horizontal distance. therefore maximum rate of elevation of increase of the train, (h/t), is limited to about 1% of the train’s speed. a general electric et44c4 diesel-electric locomotive can produce about 4,400 hp to pull a train. if you assume that all of that power is available to "lift" the train, what is the maximum mass of the train, (in units of lbm), that one of these locomotives can pull up a 1% grade at a speed of 15 mph (22 ft/s)?

The force acting on a beam was measured under the same operating conditions and a sample of 5 data points was collected. this process was repeated by 3 observers. the pooled standard deviations of these 3 data sets was 1.21. determine the true mean force using all pooled data (with a 95% probability). the result should look like this: true mean = mean +/- margin of error

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
