Vectorize the midpoint rule for integration The midpoint rule for approximating an integral can be expressed as ∫badxf(x)≈h∑i=1nf(a−12h+ih), where h=b−an. Write a function midpointint( f, a,b, n ) to compute the midpoint rule using the numpy sum function. Please be careful in generating i, which should range from 1 to n inclusive. (You could, for instance, use a range and convert it to an array.) Your submission should include a function midpointint( f, a,b, n ).

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.
