Your company is hired by the WA state highway agency to place warning signs along a dangerous road. On that road are n locations at which you may place a sign, at mile posts m1 < m2 < · · · < mn, where each mi is measured from the starting point m1 = 0. The only places you are allowed to place a sign are at one of the given mileposts. In addition, you must place one at locations m1 and mn. (If n = 1 then you just place one at m1.) The requirement is to place one every 50 miles, but this may not be possible (depending on the spacing of the mileposts). If you place two consecutive signs x miles apart, the penalty for that placement is (50−x) 2 which will be deducted from your payment. You want to arrange a placement so as to minimize the total penalty - that is, the sum, over all locations, of the penalties. Perform the two steps above to start the process of determining the minimum possible penalty.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
