Prob.#3. A machine is purchase for Php1400 000 in Jan 2001. A yr.

later, the another machine is sold for Php1498 000. The

2-machines are of the same style and size and are of similar
condition, so they shld. have equal value. Find when the
machine wld. be worth Php 2 000 000 (assuming that the
rate of inflation for machine is continuous unchanged).
Solution: Use the eqn. b = 0.067648648 =
V = aebt 6.7648648%
1. (t, V) = (0, 1400T) Thus, V = 1400Te0.067648648t
1400T = aeb.0 then 2000T = 1400Te0.067648648t
a =1400 2000T /1400T = e 0.067648648t
2. @ t = 1, ln 1.4285711429=0.067648648t
1498T = 1400T eb(1) ln 1.4285711429 = t
1498T/1400T = eb 0.067648648
eb = 1.07 then, ln eb = ln 1.07 t = 5.272402266
 Problem on Escape Velocity

#1. The radius of the moon is 1080 miles. The gravitational

acceleration of the moons surface is 0.165 times the gravitational
acceleration at the earth surface. What is the velocity of escape
from the moon in miles per hour.

 Solution: Escape Velocity, V = (2gr)1/2

 grav. Acc. of the moon, g = 0.165(9.81)
 g = 1.61865 m/s2
 5280
 g = 0.00100583 mi/s2
 then, V = [2(0.00100583)1080]
 V = 1.47 mi/sec


#2. The radius of the earth is 3960 miles.

If the gravitational acceleration of the earth
surface is 32.16 ft/s2, what is the velocity of
escape from earth of a space rocket in mi/sec?
 Solution: Given the g = 32.16 ft/s2
 g = 32.16/5280
 = 0.00609mi/s2
 V = (2gR)1/2
 V = [ 2(0.00609) 3960 ]½
 V = 6.946 mi/sec

