The Dаytоnа 500 rаcetrack in Flоrida has sоme of the best pit-crews in the world to service cars as they race for NASCAR. Each pit crew in NASCAR can contain up to 8 crew members, but only 5 are allowed in the pit at any time. In this scenario, the cars, as they stop, line up and have a crew member assigned. The crew members do not have the same service speed (see table below), but you should assume that all crew members can service a car in full regardless of title (meaning cars do not need to visit all crew members, they are serviced by 1 as they are assigned). Crew Member Pit Speed Tire Carrier 4 cars per hour Utility Man 6 cars per half hour Jackman 5 cars per 15 min Gas Man 7 cars per hour Tire Changer 1 car per 10 min The pit-stop area (nicknamed Tartarus) is where each car is assigned a crew member and are serviced from right to left (meaning the last car is serviced first, then the 19th car and so on). 5a. How many cars can the entire crew serve in 1 hour? (5pts) [PartA] 5b. Identify the order of which the crew members should be placed in the pit (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th). (5pts) [PartB1st] , [PartB2nd] , [PartB3rd] , [PartB4th] , [PartB5th] 5c. Identify which crew member is the bottleneck for the whole pit. (3pts) [PartC]5d. Identify each range of cars the crew members will work when the pit-stop system reaches steady state (REMEMBER: Cars arrive right to left). Please show all work on scrap paper. (10pts) [PartD]
