increasing size disks with the smallest on top. The object is to move all the disks from one
peg to a specified other without placing a larger disk on top of a smaller disk. The third peg
may be used as needed as long as the smaller on top of the larger condition is not violated.

course grade into a class file containing a student name and identification number. The files
are combined into a single large file and sorted by student number, printed, separated, and

(approximately 2") grades. The sorting computer is $00 million clocks per second and re~
quires on the average, 5 clocks per instruction. Two sorting algorithms are proposed, with the
following instruction count complexity requirements:

Langdon, a consulting electrical engineer, is hired by PixDream, a major motion picture
‘company, to design and oversee the construction of the power distribution system at the
company's new film studio. Once the system is in place, PixDream asks Langdon to accept
@ nine-month contract extension, and to monitor the power system during the filming of
Monster Mountain, He accepts the contract extension. Three weeks into the shoot. with the
power system operating well within acceptable parameters, Langdon is asked by PixDream
to give his opinion on a pyrotechnic specialist's plan for detonating a series of explosive
charges. The charges are triggered electrically, but their chemistry does not fall within
Langdon’s expertise. PixDream is confident Langdon can become familiar enough with the
charges to give them a professional and competent opinion, Langdon wants to continue
working for PixDream, but is uncomfortable with the idea of giving his professional opin-
ion on matters beyond his arca of expertise. Of the following, which is Langdon’s best op-
tion?
(A) Since he enjoys the work, Langdon ean leam about a charge's chemistry and give
PixDream his opinion on the pyrotechnic specialist's plan.
(B) Langdon can trust that the pyrotechnics specialist is knowledgeable and tustworthy.
and give PixDream a favorable assessment of the play.
(C) Langdon should contact some of the specialist's previous clients and base his analy-
sis on their degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the specialist's work.
(D) Langdon should decline to accept the contract extension on grounds that explosives
chemistry is beyond both his engineering education and subsequent work experi 119. Karl, an experienced mechanical enginecr, is asked by his supervisor to review an advertis-

‘careers he is familiar, Karl realizes that their resumes also include incorrect alma mater in-

the practice is not only a firm tradition, but also effective. A troubled Kael returns to his of-

The open circuit voltage is the Thevenin voltage. When the circuit is loaded with a 50-0
resistor, a voltage of 25 V requires a current of 0.5 A. The Thevenin equation is then
V,.. = Vp =30=R,(0.5)+25 or R,=10Q. Intemal power dissipation is then
PR=05' x10=2.5 W.
Let a = current in upper 50-0 resistor and i
current in upper 100-2 resistor. Then,
