An Oil Rig is located a = 11 miles from a straight coastline. An
Oil Refinery is located 16 miles down the coastline. The cost of
putting in a pipeline from the Oil Rig to the Oil Refinery depends
on whether it is on land or in the water. Rather than coming
directly to the shoreline and then turning at a Right Angle,
suppose that the Oil Pipeline met the shore at a point b = 5 miles
from the "Right Angle". If the cost is $8000 per mile for land and
$15000 per mile for water, what is the cost of the Pipeline?
Do not use a $ sign or any commas in your answer.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 6 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $400,000 per km over land to a point on the north bank and $800.000 per km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how...

An offshore oil well must be connected by pipe to the refinery. The oil-well is 2 km off-shore. The refinery is on the coast, 3 km from the nearest point of land to the oil well. The coastline is perfectly straight. It costs $ S per kilometre to lay pipe along the shore, but U times as much per km to lay pipe undenwater. The pipe may be laid either straight to the refinery, or to an intermediate point on...

An island is 4 miles offshore in a large bay. A water pipeline is to be run from a water tank on the shore to the island, as in the figure. The pipeline costs 50 thousand dollars per mile in the ocean, and 30 thousand dollars per mile on the land. Find the layout that costs the least.

a) Formulate a cost function along with constraints, if any, for the following optimization problems. You don't need to solve any of these problems i) Two electric generators are interconnected to provide total power to meet the load. Suppose each generator's cost (C) is a function of its power output P (in terms of units), and costs per unit are given by: C2 = 1 + 0.6P2 + P22 (for Generator 2). -1-P -Pi2 (for Generator 1), If the total...

Three days before Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, hardware retailer Home Depotreceived an alert from a weather service and activated its disaster-response plan to get supplies to those in the storm’s path, while turning a profit, too. Over the next three days—as Harvey gained power and made landfall early on Saturday—the world’s largest home improvement retailer set up a temporary hurricane command center at its Atlanta headquarters. It told managers to freeze prices and move plywood, generators, chainsaws and other storm-related...
