[04HIST] Reаd the fоllоwing pаssаge; then answer the questiоn that follows. … The expansion of communications meant that the world got more deeply connected and became “flat,” in Thomas Friedman’s famous formulation. Cheap phone calls and broadband made it possible for people to do jobs for one country in another country—marking the next stage in the ongoing story of capitalism. With the arrival of big ships in the fifteenth century, goods became mobile. With modern banking in the seventeenth century, capital became mobile. In the 1990s, labor became mobile. People could not necessarily go to where the jobs were, but jobs could go to where people were. And they went to programmers in India, telephone operators in the Philippines, and radiologists inThailand. The cost of transporting goods and services has been falling for centuries. With the advent [coming] of broadband, it has dropped to zero for many services. Not all jobs can be outsourced—not by a long shot—but the effect of outsourcing can be felt everywhere.… — Fareed Zakaria, The Post-American World, W. W.

INSTRUCTIONS The Hаrbоr Tide Recоrd (belоw) contаins tidаl heights (for high and low tides) and the time of day they occurred over a 4-day period.  Tidal heights in the table are all measured from the lowest possible tidal height in the harbor, known as the Mean Lower Low Water (or MLLW).  The data in the Harbor Tide Record has been plotted below.  The MLLW is indicated by the “0” on the y-axis on the graph (see below).  Use the graph to answer the questions below.  Use complete sentences and explain how you dtermined your answers if you wat full credit.  Note: The times given in the Harbor Tide Record are given in 24-hour military time.  This means 0600 = 6 a.m., 1200 = 12 noon, 1800 = 6 p.m., and 2400 = midnight, etc. Harbor Tide Record Day           Time (24 hour)      Tidal Height (meters)                  0300                          1.2 1               1200                          2.3                   1800                         1.0                   2400                         1.9                  0600                          0.8                   0900                         2.2 2               1200                          1.3                   1800                         1.7                  2400                          1.2 3               1200                          2.0                   1800                          1.1                  2400                     1.7                  0600                          1.0 4               1200                          1.7                  1800                          1.0                  2400                          1.7     QUESTIONS What was the Tidal Pattern on the following days?         Day 1 =          Day 2 =          Day 3 =          Day 4 =  The smallest Tidal Range was _____________________________________________ meters. The smallest Tidal Range occurred on Day _________________________________ The greatest Tidal Range was _____________________________________________ meters. The greatest Tidal Range occurred on Day _________________________________ Calculate the average “high-tide height” for the 7 high tides for days 1-4.  Explain how you determined your answer. You have a small sailboat and wish to sail out of the harbor.  Unfortunately, there is a sandbar in the harbor that is exposed when the tide is at the MLLW.  If your sailboat draws 1.7 meters of water (i.e., meaning, the hull sits 1.7 meters below the waterline), on what day(s) and at what time(s) would it be the safest for you to sail out of the harbor?  Use complete sentences to explain your answer.
