Question

can someone help me construct a STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM for this:
Determine the typical route taken by students from PSLH-B to the main entrance of the Electrical Engineering Library. Divide this route into at least 5 segments/stages and determine average/typical speed of students for each segment. Present the results as a bar graph of the speed versus segment (indicate the gross length of each segment). Justify your segmentation scheme.

Answer 1

hello @theEric i was thinking something like this: Determining the efficiency of the typical route from PSLH-B to EE Library

but i think its too simple and it sucks

Answer 2

Hi! I don't know what you mean by "STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM", sorry. But if you need help with the physics calculations part, let me know!

As for justifying your segmentation scheme, I have an Idea. Why don't you segment it so that each segment is a straight path. So, justification; straight paths imply easier calculations.

Answer 3

Ah... So, I have some idea what you mean!

Answer 4

simply construct a STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM, uhm like an objective, question or hypothesis.

Answer 5

With such a bar graph, you are determining the speed of different segments. With that bar graph, you will easily see which segments are fastest and how long they are..... But you are not outright showing the time..

I'd wait for someone confident in this to help, if I were you! I'll try to think of something!

Answer 6

Hmmm... Hehe. I'm trying to think, what do you see with that bar graph, and I keep in mind that this is the typical path from PSLH-B to EE Library...

Answer 7

Yours might be good, really! As long as the definition of "efficiency" is appropriate...

Answer 8

uhm okay :)

Answer 9

I see you closed the question! Good luck!
