There are 20 forging presses in the forge shop of a small company. The shop produces batches of forgings requiring a setup time

of 3.0 hours for each production batch. Average standard time for each part in a batch is 45 seconds, and there are an average of 600 parts in a batch. The plant workforce consists of two workers per press, two foremen, plus three clerical support staff. (a) Determine how many forged parts can be produced in 1 month, if there are 8 hours worked per day and an average of 21 days per month at one shift per day. (b) What is the labor productivity ratio of the forge shop, expressed as parts per worker-hour?

Answer:

Considering the guidelines of this exercise.

The pieces produced per month are 504 000

The productivity ratio is 75%

Explanation:

To understand this answer we need to analyze the problem. First of all, we can only produce 2 batches of production by the press because we require 3 hours to set it up. So if we rest those 6 hours from the 8 of the shift we get 6, leaving 2 for an incomplete bath. So multiplying 2 batches per day of production by press we obtain 40 batches per day. So, considering we work in this factory for 21 days per month well that makes 40 x 21  making 840 then we multiply the batches for the pieces 840 x 600 obtaining 504000 pieces produced per month. To obtain the productivity ratio we need to divide the standard labor hours meaning 6 by the amount of time worked meaning 8. Obtaining 75% efficiency.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2}  }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2}    }

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2}  }

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

\sigma _{p1}  +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi (equation 1)

\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero

what is an example of an innovative solution to an engineering problem? Explain briefly why you chose this answer.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

robotic technology    

Explanation:

Innovation is nothing but the use of various things such as ideas, products, people to build up a solution for the benefit of the human. It can be any product or any solution which is new and can solve people's problems.

Innovation solution makes use of technology to provide and dispatch new solutions or services which is a combination of both technology and ideas.

One such example of an innovative solution we can see is the use of "Robots" in medical science or in any military operations or rescue operation.

Sometimes it is difficult for humans to do everything or go to everywhere. Thus scientist and engineers have developed many advance robots or machines using new ideas and technology to find solutions to these problems.

Using innovations and technologies, one can find solutions to many problems which is difficult for the peoples. Robots can be used in any surveillance operation or in places of radioactive surrounding where there is a danger of humans to get exposed to such threats. They are also used in medical sciences to operate and support the patient.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

A vector is a phenomenon which in mostly used in mathematics and physics and is related to direction and size.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In mathematics and physics, a vector is a component of a vector space. For some, particular vector spaces, the vectors have gotten explicit names, which are recorded beneath. Verifiably, vectors were presented in geometry and material science before the formalization of the idea of vector space.  

A vector is an amount or phenomenon that has two autonomous properties: magnitude and direction. The term likewise means the numerical or geometrical portrayal of such an amount.
