You buy a 75-W lightbulb in Europe, where electricity is delivered to homes at 240V. If you use the lightbulb in the United Stat

es at 120 V (assume its resistance does not change), how bright will it be relative to 75-W 129-V bulbs?

Answer:

The bulb will be \frac{1}{4} times as bright as it is in Europe.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Power of bulb in Europe = 75 W

Voltage provided in Europe = 240 V

Voltage provided in United Stated = 120 V

Now,

We know,

Power = Voltage² ÷ Resistance

Therefore,

75 = 240² ÷ Resistance

or

Resistance = 240² ÷ 75

or

Resistance = 768 Ω

Therefore,

Power in United States = Voltage² ÷ Resistance

= 120² ÷ 768

= 18.75 W

Therefore,

Ratio of powers

\frac{\text{Power in united states}}{\text{Power in Europe}}=\frac{18.75}{75}

= \frac{1}{4}

Hence,

The bulb will be \frac{1}{4} times as bright as it is in Europe.

Answer:

Those products are generally called Work in Process WIP

Explanation:

Work in process (WIP), or work in progress (WIP), goods in process, or in-process inventory in a manufacturing industry/company refer to the company's partially finished goods waiting for completion and eventual sale or the value of these items.

These items are either just being produced or require further processing (like purification, separation, packaging or handling) in a queue or a buffer storage.

Write torsion equation and explain the importance of each components.<br>​
Elanso [62]
The equations are based on the following assumptions

1) The bar is straight and of uniform section
2) The material of the bar is has uniform properties.
3) The only loading is the applied torque which is applied normal to the axis of the bar.
4) The bar is stressed within its elastic limit.

Nomenclature

T = torque (Nm)
l = length of bar (m)
J = Polar moment of inertia.(Circular Sections) ( m^4)
J' = Polar moment of inertia.(Non circluar sections) ( m^4 )
K = Factor replacing J for non-circular sections.( m^4)
r = radial distance of point from center of section (m)
ro = radius of section OD (m)
τ = shear stress (N/m^2)
G Modulus of rigidity (N/m^2)
θ = angle of twist (radians)
