Dear IMC:
Welbilt Design and Construction has recently begun the construction of a series of carefully designed, eminently safe new office buildings in a development immediately outside of the southern boundary of Lonlinc. At the last minute, however, the subcontractor we had working on the design of the gutters for the roofs of building has pulled out, so we are contacting your firm to determine the optimum gutter design for the development.
An optimum gutter will, of course, carry a maximum amount of water yet must also consider production and maintenance costs. Our design constraints require that it be manufactured from a 45 cm wide piece of material (which we can order in the lengths required to line different roof sections).
We therefore have contacted you to find the gutter design(s) which will carry the most water from the roof. Because we have already begun the construction of the office buildings, we unfortunately require a fairly speedy response from you.
For your reference, we have included a copy of our requirements for technical documents. We look forward to seeing your finished report.
Technical Report Requirements
All reports submitted to Welbilt, Inc. should be written so that the forewomen and foremen of the construction unit implementing the report can understand and apply the information contained therein. Owing to Welbilt’s preeminent position in the construction field all of our forepeople have degrees in engineering, and thus have had college level mathematics, including calculus—unfortunately, however, their long experience in the field precludes a ready knowledge of the same. Therefore, the reports should assume a strong precalculus and basic calculus (about half a semester of calculus I) background, but should not expect a knowledge of much more than that.
Reports should further:
? Be written in the first person plural (e.g., “We found the requisite data from the figure…”).
? Include the analysis of at least three (3) potential gutter shapes. ? Include mathematical formulas in the text of the body of the report as appropriate to describe the methods and results obtained. (While the report must be typewritten, it is fine to neatly hand-write formulas if that significantly simplifies its generation.)
? Clearly explain how the mathematical formulas that are included bear on the problem being solved.
