18-inch pipeline designed for 150‚000 barrels per day‚ what is the short-run cost per barrel (per thousand miles) of transporting crude oil if the throughput is (a) 50‚000 barrels per day (b) 100‚000 barrels per day (c) 150‚000 barrels per day? Using chart 7‚ a) Cost of transporting 50‚000 barrels would be 30 cents. b) Cost of transporting 100‚000 barrels would be 17 cents. c) Cost of transporting 150‚000 barrels would 16 cents. 2.

The Science of Transportation: Ancient World: The Wheel: • How do they work? Wheels work by rolling along a surface. The curved surface of the wheel reduces the friction between the two surfaces due to a decrease in surface area. With less friction it is much easier to move an object. This is because rolling friction is much weaker than sliding friction. • How did they come to be? The wheel was invented in prehistoric times; as the oldest example of a wheel yet found is from the region of
