D. Less than that of its competitors.
Explanation:
Personally, I believe that GM is an extremely spoiled child that refuses to assume responsibility for its continuous and never ending mistakes. GM has either filed for bankruptcy or threatened to do so twice in the last 30 years or so, and every time the US government has to bail them out. But GM keeps doing things wrong.
It doesn't matter if you like their cars or not, GM is terribly managed. No other company in US history has received so much financial aid from the government and continued to lose money and work inefficiently. The problem is that whenever things go wrong, stockholders lose their money but the executives keep getting tens of millions of dollars. If a company is managed in such a disastrous way, their top management shouldn't get paid that much.
A car factory costs a lot of money, and not using it efficiently is outrageous considering GM's history. If they had never received a cent from the government, then its only their problem. But the government lost $11.2 billion on GM's last bailout. During the 1980s GM lobbied fro the government to impose import quotas on Japanese cars because they were better cars and GM couldn't compete against them. So whenever they do things wrong, big brother has to help them. During the last couple of years GM had to sell most of its foreign operations in order to get cash, and you generally do not make money by selling your assets.
Here is the correct question.
A cylindrical part of diameter d is loaded by an axial force p. this causes a stress of P/A, where A= πd²/4. if the load is known with an uncertainty of ±10 percent, the diameter is known within ±5 percent (tolerances), and the stress that causes failure (strength) is known within ±15 percent, determine the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail.
Answer:
the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail. = 1.434
Explanation:
Looking at the uncertainty; loss of strength must be raised to due to the stress that causes the failure (strength) is known within ±15% uncertainty.
Looking at the uncertainty; the maximum allowable load must be reduced to because the load is known with an uncertainty of ±10.
Looking at the uncertainty; the diameter must be raised to because the diameter is known within an uncertainty of ±5.
The decrease in the maximum allowable stress can be estimated as:
where,
stress
P = load
A = cross-sectional area of the cylinder
∴
replacing P' with and d' with
, we have:
Thus, the uncertainty in diameter and the load of the allowable stress needs to decrease to 0.82045
Now, the minimum design factor that will ascertain that the part will not fail can be computed as:
where;
the design factor =
the design factor = 1.434.
Thus, the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail. = 1.434
