The mass of the box is 5kg (the mass center is located in the middle of the box), the mass of a lower arm plus a hand is 1.5 kg

(the mass center is located in the middle of the segment), an upper arm weighs 2 kg (the mass center is located in the middle of this segment), and the total mass of the head and torso is 27 kg. Assuming g=10N/kg and 1 iinch=2.54 cm, how large is the force exerted by the back extensor muscles at the L5/S1 in Newtons? How large is the compression force at the L5/S1? How large is the shear force at the L5/S1?

Answer:

Force of Compression= 1,315.322 N

Shear Force = 0 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of Box = 5kg

Mass of lower arm = 1.5kg

Mass of upper arm = 2kg

Mass of Torso = 27kg

Calculating the weight of the parameters above

Weight of Box = Wbox = 5kg * 10N/kg = 50N

Weight of Lower arm = Wlow = 1.5 * 10 = 15N

Weight of Upper arm = Wup = 2 * 10 = 20N

Weight of Torso = Wtor = 27 * 10 = 270N

The force on the muscle is calculated by the following:

Fmus= Wbox* a/5 + Wlow* b/5 + Wup*c/5 where a,b, and c represents the corresponding lengths of each weights

Calculating a,b and c (See attachment) where angles are 30° and 20°

a = (sin 30) * 14.2 + (cos 20) * 14.5

a = 7.1 + 13.6 = 20.7 in.

b = 13.6 + (7.1/2) = 17.2 in.

c = (14.5/2) cos 20 = 6.8 in

Fmus= 50 * 20.7/5+ 15* 2 * 17.2/5+ 20* 2 *6.8/5 = 364.3N

.... * 2.54 inch

Fmus = 364.3 * 2.54 = 925.322N

Force of compression is calculated as

Fcomp= Fmus + Wtor + Wbox+ 2* Wlow+ 2* Wup

Fcom = 925.322 + 270 + 50 + 2 * 15 + 2 * 20

Fcomp = 1,315.322 N

Fshear = 0 N because no force perpendicular to L5/S1

A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by upper c equals 0.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.

Explanation:

Differentiation Formula

$\frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= nx^{n-1}$
$\frac{d}{dx}(a)=0$ [ where a is a constant]
$\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n)=a \frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= anx^{n-1}$

Given that,

A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by

$c=0.2x^2+10,000$ .

Again given that,

the rate of changing production is 13 unit per month

i.e $\frac{dx}{dt}=13$

To find the cost per month, we need to find out the value $\frac{dc}{dt}$ when production is changing at the rate 13 units per month and the production is 70 units.

$c=0.2x^2+10,000$

Differentiating with respect to t

$\frac{d}{dt}(c)=\frac{d}{dt}(0.2x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\frac{d}{dt}(x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\times 2x^{2-1}\frac{dx}{dt}+0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\frac{dx}{dt}$

Plugging $\frac{dx}{dt}=13$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\times 13$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=5.2x$

$\frac{dc}{dt}|_{x=70}=5.2\times 70$ [ plugging x=70]

=364

[ The unit of c is not given. Assume that the unit of c is dollar.]

The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.

Which of the following accurately describes the effect target costing has on the manufacturing design function? Select one: A. T

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

B. Target costing forces design engineers to explicitly consider the costs of manufacturing and other aspects of business that traditionally fall outside the engineering department

Explanation:

Target costing needs the design engineers to be active in meeting their customers projection, but it must be inside the target cost requirements. Engineers can not afford to just have their attention on the function and form of design, they must also observe cost under Target costing.

Wholesale insurance brokers (also called excess and surplus lines brokers) are intermediaries between:

valina [46]

Answer:

3. an insurance agent and an insurance company

Explanation:

Insurance simply means protection from financial loss.

Types of insurance are:

1. Property insurance

2. Life or personal insurance

3. Marine insurance

4. Fire insurance

5. Liability insurance

6. Social insurance

7. Guarantee insurance

Insurance Agents are people that work for insurance companies to reach out to new and existing customers to sell insurance. An insurance agent acts as an intermediary between an insured and the marketplace

An insured means a person or organization covered by insurance. They are like consumers.

Insurance company (insurer) is a business that provides coverage, in the form of compensation resulting from loss, damage or injury, treatment or hardship in exchange for premium payments.

Wholesale Broker is a type of insurance broker who acts as an intermediary between a retail broker (insurance agent ) and an insurer while having no contact with the insured

Lamont Communications has amortized a patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired in 2010 at a cost of $50 million. Du

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

Explanation:

Patent acquisition date is 2010

Cost of acquisition = $50 million

Initial Useful life = 20 years

Annual amortization = $50,000,000/20

= $2,500,000

Between 2010 and start of 2013 is 3 years

Carrying value at the start of 2013

= 50,000,000 - 3(2,500,000)

= $42,500,000

If patent would be received over a total period of 8 years rather than the 20-year legal life being used to amortize the cost,

Patent amortization expense in 2013 = $42,500,000/8

= $5,312,500

This can be estimated as $5 million.

The right option is C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.
