Under state law, a manufacturer must design a dangerous product so as to avoid harm to people who are using the product as inten

ded or in an unintended but foreseeable way. Bennett, a six-year-old, placed a Bic cigarette lighter under his shirt and lit the lighter. His shirt caught on fire, causing him severe burns. His mother sued Bic, contending it was liable because the lighter was a dangerous product and Bennett's use of the lighter was unintended but foreseeable. The court is most likely to find that Bic wasa. not liable, because lighters cannot be designed so that children cannot use them.
b. liable, because it was foreseeable that a child would have access to and try to use a lighter.
c. liable, because all lighters are dangerous.
d. not liable, because children should never have access to lighters.

Answer:

b. liable, because it was foreseeable that a child would have access to and try to use a lighter.

Explanation:

BIC must foresee that any child may access the lighter, so they should put some warning on product so that the adults will notice to put lighters away reach of children.

Coronado Industries can sell all the units it can produce of either Plain or Fancy but not both. Plain has a unit contribution m
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

It will be better to produce all the units of Plain we can sell, then use any remaining machine hours to produce Fancy. This is because Plain, generated more contribution per hour than Fancy.

Explanation:

We have to calculate the Contribution Margin per machine hours

This means check which product makes a better use of the scarse resourse

\frac{Plain\: CM}{Plain \: Machine \: Hours } = CM \: per \:Machine\:Hour\\\\ 80 \div 2 = 40

\frac{Fancy\: CM}{Fancy\: Machine \: Hours } = CM \: per \:Machine\:Hour\\\\ 93 \div 3 = 31

It will be better to produce all the units of Plain we can sell, then use any remaining machine hours to produce Fancy

Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of wa
Radda [10]

Answer:

1170839.28 dyn/cm^2

16.9816 psia

117.083928 kN/m^2

Explanation:

To calculate the absolute pressure in the bottom of tube we need to sum the atmosferic and gauge pressure.

P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G

And the gauge pressure is given by the contributions of columns of water (P_{w}) and mercury(P_{Hg}), we can calculate the contribution of each column as:

P= \rho g h (*)

where \rho is the respective density, g gravity and h is height.

So we have all the data required to use the above equations (P_{atm}, height and density of each column) we only need to be carefully with the units.

For simplicity we can to express all pressure contributions in mmHg ( P_{atm}, P_{w} and P_{Hg}). Note that the units "x" mmHg  means the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury of "x" mm high. For example, in this case we have a column 12.1 cm of Hg, that is a column of 121 mmHg (passing from cm to mm only requires multiply by 10) pressure exerted by that column is 121 mmHg.

Now pressure of 5.6 cm (56 mm) of water would be 56 mm of water, but it is not the same that mmHg, since the density of water is lower, the pressure exerted by 1 mm of water is lower than the exerted by 1 mm of Hg. The conversion between mmHg and mm of water is given by the relation between the densities.

mmHg=\frac{\rho_w*mmH_2O}{\rho_{Hg}}

mmHg=\frac{0.998*mmH_2O}{13.55}=0.0737 mmH_2O

And pressure of water in mmHg is

0.0737*56=4.1246 mmHg

The absolute pressure is:

P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G= 756 + 121 + 4.1246  = 881.1246 mmHg = 88.11246cmHg

To pass to dyn/cm^2 units we need to use the equation (*)

P= \rho g h = 13.55 \frac{g}{cm^3} * 980.665 \frac{cm}{s^2} * 88.11246 cmHg = 1170839.28 \frac{g}{cm s^2} = 1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2}

Note: We need to use cm Hg for units coherence

Now passing from dyn/cm^2 to kN/m^2 (or kPa) we need to consider that 1 dyn is 10^{-8} kN and 1 cm^2 is 10^{-4} m^2.  

1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2} * \frac{10^{-8}kN}{1 dyn}*\frac{cm^2}{10^{-4}m^2}=117.083928kN/m^2

Now passing kN/m^2 to psia. We need to consider that 1 psia is 6.89476.

117.083928kN/m^2*\frac{1psia}{6.89476kN/m^2}=16.9816 psia

A store asked 250 of its customers to study the relationship between the amount spent on groceries and income. a meaningful display of the data from this study would be <u>a scatterplot</u>

<u></u>

Using Cartesian coordinates, a scatterplot is a form of plot or mathematical diagram that shows values for typically two variables for a set of data. An additional variable can be shown if the points are color-, shape-, or size-coded.

When one continuous variable is under the experimenter's control and the other depends on it or when both continuous variables are independent, a scatterplot can be utilized. The data are shown as a series of points, with each point's value dictating its position on the horizontal axis and its value dictating its position on the vertical axis.
