The flywheel of an old steam engine is a solid homogeneous metal disk of mass $M=120 \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $R=80.0 \mathrm{~cm}$. The engine rotates the wheel at 500 . rpm. In an emergency, to bring the engine to a stop, the flywheel is disengaged from the engine and a brake pad is applied at the edge to provide a radially inward force $F=100$. N. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pad and the flywheel is $\mu_{\mathrm{k}}=0.200$, how many revolutions does the flywheel make before coming to rest? How long does it take for the flywheel to come to rest? Calculate the work done by the torque during this time.

A car passenger buckles himself in with a seat belt and holds his $18-\mathrm{kg}$ toddler on his lap. Use the work-energy principle to answer the following questions. (a) While traveling $25\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}$, the driver has to make an emergency stop over a distance of $45\mathrm{~m}$. Assuming constant deceleration, how much force will the arms of the parent need to exert on the child during this deceleration period? Is this force achievable by an average parent?

The following table, reproduced from earlier exercise, gives the probability distribution of the number of patients who enter Millard Fellmore Memorial Hospital's emergency room in a given hour.

$$\begin{array}{l|ccccccc} \hline \text { Patients per hour } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\ \hline \text { Probability } & .2725 & .3543 & .2303 & .0998 & .0324 & .0084 & .0023 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Calculate this probability distribution's mean and standard deviation.

The following exercises describe apportionment problems for situations besides the House of Representatives. Do the following: a. Find the apportionment by Hamilton's method. b. Find the apportionment by Jefferson's method. c. Find the apportionment by Webster's method. d. Find the apportionment by the Hill-Huntington method. e. Compare the results of the various methods. A city plans to purchase 16 new emergency vehicles. They are to be apportioned among 485 members of the police department, 213 members of the fire department, and 306 members of the paramedic squad.

Potassium superoxide, $KO_2$, is employed in a self-contained breathing apparatus used by emergency personnel as a source of oxygen. The reaction is\

$4KO_2(s) + 2H_2O(l) \longrightarrow 4KOH(s) + 3O_2(g)$\

Say a self-contained breathing apparatus is charged with 750 g $KO_2$ and then is used to produce 195 g of oxygen. Was all of the $KO_2$ consumed in this reaction? If the $KO_2$ wasn’t all consumed, how much is left over and what mass of additional $O_2$ could be produced?

A patient is evaluated in the emergency department after causing an automobile accident while being under the influence of alcohol. While assessing the patient, which statement would be the most therapeutic?

1. “Why did you drive after you had been drinking?”
2. “We have multiple patients to see tonight as a result of this accident.”
3. “Tell me what happened before, during, and after the automobile accident tonight.”
4. “It will be okay. No one was seriously hurt in the accident.”

Police cars, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles are required to carry road flares. One of the most important features of flares is their burning times. To help decide which of four brands on the market to use, a police laboratory technician measured the burning time for a random sample of 10 flares of each brand. The results were recorded to the nearest minute. Repeat Part b using Tukey’s method.

O A door in a hospital has a pneumatic closer that pulls the door shut such that the doorknob moves with constant speed over most of its pach. In this part of its motion, (a) does the doorknob experience a centripetal acceleration? (b) Does it experience a tangential acceleration? Hurrying to an emergency, a nurse gives a sharp push to the closed door. The door swings open against the pneumatic device, slowing down and then reversing its motion. At the moment the door is open the widest, (c) does the doorknob have a centripetal acceleration? (d) Does it have a tangential acceleration?

J.R. is a $28$-year-old man who was doing home repairs. He fell from the top of a $6$-foot stepladder, striking his head on a large rock. He experienced a momentary loss of consciousness. By the time his neighbor got to him, he was conscious but bleeding profusely from a laceration over the right temporal area. The neighbor drove him to the emergency department of your hospital. As the nurse, you immediately apply a cervical collar, lay him on a stretcher, and take J.R. to a treatment room.

Identify at least five signs and symptoms of increased ICP.

Walking to her car after her 65th birthday party, Mrs. Schultz tripped on ice and fell forward on her outstretched palms. When she arrived at the emergency room, her right wrist and hand were bent like a fork. Dr. Jefferson felt that the styloid process of her radius was outside of the anatomical snuff box and slightly proximal to the styloid process of the ulna. When he checked her elbow, he found that the olecranon lay 2 cm proximal to the two epicondyles of the right humerus. Explain all these observations, and describe what had happened to Mrs.Schultz’s limb.

Hos pitals typically req uire backup generators to provide electricity in the event of a power outage. Assume that emergency backup generato rs fai l 22% of the times when they are needed (based on data from Arshad Mansoor, senior vice president with the Electric Power Research In stitute). A hospital has two backup generators so that power is avail able if one of them fails during a power outage. Find the probability of having a working generator in the event of a power outage. Is that probability high enough for the hospital?

A driver makes an emergency stop and inadvertently locks up the brakes of the car, which skids to a stop on dry concrete. Consider the effect of heavy rain on this scenario. Using the values in Table 1, determine how much farther the car would skid (expressed as a percentage of the dry-weather skid) if the concrete were wet instead. What does this question imply about driving safely?

An emergency drain pump, shown in figure, should be able to pump $0.1 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}$ of liquid water at $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 10 \mathrm{~m}$ vertically up, delivering it with a velocity of $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. It is estimated that the pump, pipe, and nozzle have a combined isentropic efficiency expressed for the pump as $60 \%$. How much power is needed to drive the pump?
