Two reasons why photography is not filmmaking

The idea that, for each pair of devices v and w, there’s a strict dichotomy between being “in range” or “out of range” is a simplified abstraction. more accurately, there’s a power decay function f (·) that specifies, for a pair of devices at distance δ, the signal strength f(δ) that they’ll be able to achieve on their wireless connection. (we’ll assume that f (δ) decreases with increasing δ.) we might want to build this into our notion of back-up sets as follows: among the k devices in the back-up set of v, there should be at least one that can be reached with very high signal strength, at least one other that can be reached with moderately high signal strength, and so forth. more concretely, we have values p1 ≥ p2 ≥ . . ≥ pk, so that if the back-up set for v consists of devices at distances d1≤d2≤≤dk,thenweshouldhavef(dj)≥pj foreachj. give an algorithm that determines whether it is possible to choose a back-up set for each device subject to this more detailed condition, still requiring that no device should appear in the back-up set of more than b other devices. again, the algorithm should output the back-up sets themselves, provided they can be found.\

5.a fishing rod is formed from a composite material of 0.5 kg of glass fibers embedded in a matrix of 0.5 kg of epoxy resin. the glass fibers are assumed to be long, continuous and unidirectional. to achieve a greater stiffness it is proposed to use a different composite that is comprised of long continuous carbon fibers that will be embedded in a matrix of 0.5 kg of epoxy resin. if the modulus of elasticity of the carbon fiber composite is 10% greater than the elastic modulus of the glass fiber composite, estimate the mass of carbon fibers that will be used to make the carbon fiber composite. assume the applied tensile stress is parallel to the direction of the long axis of the fibers. the epoxy resin, glass fiber, and carbon fiber have an elastic modulus of 5, 86, and 350 gpa respectively and a density of 1100, 2500, and 1800 respectively.
