242434.4 x .015= 3636.516 dollars
Conclusion
1.      What do you need to know in order to perform a physical property analysis?
You need to know the density, material, surface area, and volume to perform physical property analysis.


2.      Why is it important to understand the mathematics used in physical property analysis?

It is important to understand mathematics in property analysis because you need to know how to calculate certain dimensional analysis and measurements for property analysis


3.      Why is it important to perform a physical property analysis prior to producing a part?
It is important to perform a physical property analysis because you need to know the logistics of the object you are producing.


4.      The clear enclosure piece and the wheels of the Automoblox are manufactured from polycarbonate. Do you think that the connector pieces are also manufactured from polycarbonate? Justify your answer.
I would say no because according to my physical property analysis, the densities of the two plastics are different.

Day 2 Intro to Engineering Allen Sam 6-12-18 Activity 1.6 Discover Engineering 1.      What is engineering? Based on your current perception, in a few sentences define the term “engineering”.  I think that engineering is a field of making and building. Ideas from creative people are brought into reality and people try to solve problems with these ideas whether they are crazy ones or not. The effectiveness of something built is the most important part of engineering because the engineers want to address a certain problem. Might I say that engineering is the field of problem solving as well. 2.       Describe the four major disciplines of engineering and identify problems or projects that an engineer in each discipline might encounter. ·           Chemical engineering  Chemical engineers use science and math to work in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, desi...
