Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

In recent times and in the past, so many companies have been dealt with or bankrupted by disaster.

This disasters are in the form of floods, earthquake and tsunami. This has led to many companies across world to have faced problem. As Japan is particularly vulnerable to natural disaster because of its climate and topography let me take example of japan .The tsunami that struck Japan in March this year which has lead to a debt of worth nearly $8 billion due to failed businesses. A total of 341 firms in japan with a combined 6,376 employees has got affected by this disaster.

One of company that hit hard by these disaster is Toyota. Toyota is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. Actually due to flood in thailand toyota has faced a big loss. As flood hit thailand the parts of vehicle which is produced in thailand has stopped . It leads to interruption in the supply chain of some Thailand made components.

This lead to suspension of production as thai made component was unavailable.It has been reported until the situation of thailand will be good toyota plants in Indiana, Kentucky and Ontario, Canada, will be shut down . And production rate at plant in North America will get slow down .This flood leads to a loss of 37500 vehicles .Due to this reason toyota was forced to open its plants in Southeast asian country just to enhance the production rate.Sales of vehicle has also got reduced in thailand . Hence toyota faced a total loss of 1.6 billion dollar.

In Nigeria, due to the insurgency of the Boko Haram, many companies have entirely stopped operations in some regions, this harsh realities leads to massive loss of revenue for such companies.

A hydrauliic jack is rated at 5000 pound capacity. The area of the large piston on the jack is 4.45 Square inches. Calculate the
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

1123.6 pounds/ square inch.

Explanation:

Fluid pressure is the ratio of force or weight applied by the fluid per unit area.

i.e Fluid pressure = \frac{weight}{area}

The maximum load of the jack is obtained at its maximum capacity = 5000 pounds

Area of the large piston on the jack = 4.45 square inches

Thus,

Fluid pressure = \frac{5000}{4.45}

                        = 1123.5955

Fluid pressure = 1123.6 pounds/ square inch

Thu, the fluid pressure in the jack at maximum load is 1123.6 pounds/ square inch.

Block A hangs by a cord from spring balance D and is submerged in a liquid C contained in beaker B. The mass of the beaker is 1.
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a)  m_e= 3.05 Kg

b)  \rho=1072.3kg/m^3

c)  m_e= 3.05 Kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Beaker Mass m_b=1.20

Liquid Mass m_l=1.85

Balance D:

Mass m_d=3.10

Balance E:

Mass m_e=7.50

Volume v=4.15*10^{-3}m^3

a)

Generally the equation for Liquid's density is mathematically given by

m_e=m_b+m_l+(\rho*v)

\rho=\frac{7.50-(1.2+1.85)}{4.15*10^{-3}}

\rho=1072.3kg/m^3

b)

Generally the equation for D's Reading at A pulled is mathematically given by

m_d = mass of block - mass of liquid displaced

m_d=m- (\rho *v )

m=3.10+ (1072.30 *4.15*10^{-3}m^3 )

m=18.10kg

c)

Generally the equation for E's Reading at A pulled is mathematically given by

m_e=m_b+m_l

m_e = 1.20 + 1.85

m_e= 3.05 Kg

Refrigerant-134a at 700 kPa, 70°C, and 7.2 kg/min is cooled by water in a condenser until it exists as a saturated liquid at the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}.

Explanation:

A condenser is a heat exchanger used to cool working fluid (Refrigerant 134a) at the expense of cooling fluid (water), which works usually at steady state. Let suppose that there is no heat interactions between condenser and surroundings.The condenser is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states:

\dot Q_{ref} - \dot Q_{w} = 0

\dot Q_{ref} = \dot Q_{w}

\dot m_{ref}\cdot (h_{ref, in} - h_{ref,out}) = \dot m_{w}\cdot (h_{w, out} - h_{w,in})

The mass flow rate of the cooling water is now cleared:

\dot m_{w} = \dot m_{ref }\cdot \frac{h_{ref,in}-h_{ref,out}}{h_{w,out}-h_{w,in}}

Given that h_{ref,in} = 808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h_{ref, out} = 88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h_{w,out} = 104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg} and h_{w,in} = 62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, the mass flow of the cooling water is:

\dot m_{w} = \left(7.2\,\frac{kg}{min} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg} } \right)

\dot m_{w} = 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}.

Inga [223]

Answer:

B. operator error or misuse

Explanation:

A product is a failure if it is not able to achieve the anticipated life cycle as expected by the organization.

In such a case, there is a withdrawal of the product from the market as a result of its ultimate failure of a product to achieve profitability.

Four common causes of product failure are poor design, poor construction, poorly communicated operating instructions, and <u>operator error or misuse</u>

The two basic network administration models are ____ and ____
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: Protocol model and reference model

Explanation:

 There are basically two types of basic network administrator model in the network that is:

Protocol model:

 This model is basically represent the 4 layer of the TCP/IP model as it describe the different functionality with the networking data which occur in the each layer of the protocol in the TCP/IP model.

Reference model:

 The reference model basically provide the common reference and maintain the consistency in all the different types of the network protocol. The main purpose of this model is that it understand the different  functionality of the OSI model and then used in different networking design.
