Look up 'London buildings collapse as a result of nightly German bombing' picture on the internet .Examine the photo showing the destruction caused by the Luftwaffe's bombing raids on London. Explain how this strategy of Hitler's hurt, rather than helped, Germany's efforts.

Higher Order Thinking A bus left New York City and arrived in Philadelphia after $2 \frac{1}{3}$ hours. From there, it took $1 \frac{3}{4}$ hours to travel to Baltimore. It took another $\frac{5}{6}$ hour to go from Baltimore to Washington. If the bus arrived in Washington at 10:05 P.M., at what time did it leave New York City? Explain.

An airplane can travel at a speed of 550 miles per hour. Write and solve an equation to find the time it will take to fly from London to Montreal, a distance of approximately 3300 miles.

Fourteen of 180 publicly traded business services companies failed a test for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements for financial records and fraud protection. Assuming that these are a random sample of all publicly traded companies, construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the overall noncompliance proportion. See The New York Times, April 27, 2005, p. BU5.

a. TU curve would get steeper.

b. MU curve would get flatter.

c. TU and MU curves would shift downward.

d. MU curve, but not the TU curve, would collapse to the horizontal axis.

If $1.0 \mathrm{~m}^3$ of concrete weighs $5.0 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N}$, what is the height of the tallest cylindrical concrete pillar that will not collapse under its own weight? The compression strength

Write each of the following items, using capital letters where they are needed.

Why don't the first floors of buildings built over basements or crawl spaces collapse when flooded to the ceiling if the weight of a roomful of water is so great (see above the Example)?

The population of New York City would satisfy the logistic law $\frac{d p}{d t}=\frac{1}{25} p-\frac{1}{(25) 10^{6}} p^{2}$ where t is measured in years, if we neglected the high emigration and homicide rates. (a) Modify this equation to take into account the fact that 9,000 people per year move from the city, and 1,000 people per year are murdered. (b) Assume that the population of New York City was 8,000,000 in 1970. Find the population for all future time. What happens as $t \rightarrow \infty ?$

The hose shown in the given figure will collapse if the pressure within it is lower than 10 psi below atmospheric pressure. Determine the maximum length, $L$, allowed if the friction factor is $0.015$ and the flow rate is $0.010\ \mathrm{cfs}$. Neglect minor losses.

Estimate the number of piano tuners living in New York City. This question was raised by the physicist Enrico Fermi, who was well known for making order-of-magnitude calculations.

New York City is the most expensive city in the United States for lodging. The mean hotel room rate is $204 per night. Suppose that room rates are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $55.

b. What is the possibility that a hotel room costs less than $140 per night?

Drawing Conclusions What conclusion(s) can you draw from the fact that Tammany Hall dominated New York City for more than 50 years?
