BKM CHAPTER 5 1. The Fisher equation tells us that the real interest rate approximately equals the nominal rate minus the inflation rate. Suppose the (expected or realized) inflation rate increases from 3% to 5%. Does the Fisher equation imply that this increase will result in a fall in the real rate of interest? Explain. The Fisher equation relates nominal rates required by investors to real rates required by investors and inflation. You can think about this from two perspectives: i. Ex-ante

Discuss the cause of the Tacoma bridge disaster‚ in terms of waves‚ vibrations‚ and resonance. Elaborate the effects with relevant equations and formulae. The Tacoma bridge collapse can be attributed to the waves caused by the buildup of energetic vibrations. These energetic vibrations were built up from the bridge “taking energy from the steadily blowing wind” (Crowell). Eventually enough of these energetic vibrations built up to cause resonance within the system‚ causing the wave-like motion

Slim River. 2. We decided to do at there because it situated far away from road shoulder so it easy and safe for us to observe and captured the time elapsed. 3.2 Setting up study length 1. We chose 54 m of study length because the traffic stream average speed in front of Polytechnics Sultan Azlan Shah is 60km/h. 2. We used cone as a marker so it will easy to capture the speed limit when the vehicles pass by the marker. 3. Three of our group members were assigned to measure

1 Describe the graphical coordinate system in Java. Where is the origin? What units apply to the x‚y coordinates? Java AWT Graphic component is different with respect to x and y coordinate that we have learnt in math. It defines its own coordinate system to specify where and how drawing operation will take place. Here the origin (0‚0) is at the top left corner of the component. Here X coordinate increases as we move right and Y coordinate increases as we move down. . The units for X and Y is in
