Anon-pipelined system takes 100ns to process a task. the same task can be processed in a 5-segment pipeline with a clock cycle of 20ns.

a. determine the speedup ratio of the pipeline for 100 tasks.

b. determine the speedup ratio of the pipeline for 20 tasks.

c. determine the speedup ratio of the pipeline for 1 task.

d. what is the maximum speedup that could be achieved with the pipeline unit over the non-pipelined unit?

Two microscope slides are placed horizontally, one on top of the other, with a drop of a dishwashing liquid between them. the gap between the slides is 1 mm. a machine pulls the top slide to the right with a velocity of 0.15 millimeters per second while the bottom slide is held stationary. a stress gage indicates that a shearing stress of 0.5 pa is required to pull the top slide with this velocity. if the dishwashing liquid adheres to both slides during this process, what is the viscosity of the liquid? specify whether your answer is dynamic or kinematic viscosity, and use appropriate units.
