We have a historical example of the kind of problem that the supply-demand gap can cause from the 1970s' oil shocks and the dynamics of the world oil supply over the past four decades. On October 5, 1973, the Yom Kippur War started when Syria and Egypt attacked Israel. The United States and most Western countries showed support for Israel. Several Arab nations and Iran imposed an embargo and curtailed their production by 5 mbpd. There had been no spare production in the United States, the largest oil-producing nation, since 1971, but other nonOPEC producers were able to increase production by 1 mbpd, resulting in a 7% decline in supply. By the end of 1974, the price of oil had risen from around $3.00 per barrel, where it had been since regulation began in 1910, to over $12 per barrel. Go to the website provided and read through the presentation by Dr. Robert Hirsch giving a review of the energy crisis (https://www.aspo2012.at/ speakers/#hirsch).
(a) Ask your parents or anyone you know over 50 years of age what they remember about the energy crisis of the 1970s.
(b) Write a hypothetical proposal to your hometown city council for a transition engineering project that would assess the adaptive capacity for gas and diesel fuel reduction in the event of another energy crisis (limit 1 page).
(c) Give two things you would do to prepare for a fuel shortage and calculate how each would improve your adaptive capacity from today.

After machining, the length was found to be 10.004 in. What was the average residual stress in the layer that was machined away? For the brass, E = 110 GPa. For simplicity, neglect the Poisson effects.
a two-engine jet transport has a loaded weight of 90000 lb and a forward thrust of 9800 lb per engine during takeoff.
determine the average applied force exerted on to the pile hammer. Note because the force is applied over a short time period it can be considered as an impulse force.
