Answer:

It is a well known fact that the earth rotates around the sun in an inclined axis which is approximately 23 degree. The inclined nature of earth axis causes variation in the solar heat received at any place on the earth surface. The hemisphere facing the sun due to this axial tilt, gets higher sun energy as compared to the opposite side. The hemisphere which faces the sun will experience summer whereas the hemisphere away from sun will experience winter.

In each of the hemisphere the polar areas will receive higher radiation and longer daytime during the summer season. However it has been observed that there is difference in radiation received at different areas of earth surface and radiated. The tropical areas have lower reflectance and thus a large part of incoming solar radiation have been absorbed along the tropics. The poles though have longer daytime during summer and hence greater solar radiation but due to high reflectance radiate more energy. Thus the tropical areas have surplus energy as compared to deficit energy areas of poles. This difference in energy creates a heat imbalance.

This net heat difference between poles and equator gives rise to a global circulation system leading to flow of heat from the net energy excess areas to deficit areas. This circulation takes place through atmosphere as well as oceans and different process of climate viz. evaporation, transpiration, rainfall, wind, convection, oceanic circulations etc work as tools of this system

1)What are the three previous manufacturing revolutions Mr. Scalabre mentions? When did these take place?
Ostrovityanka [42]

The three previous manufacturing revolutions that Mr. Scalabre mentioned and their year of occurrence are:

  1. The steam engine in the mid-19th Century
  2. The mass-production model in the early 20th Century
  3. The first automation wave in the 1970s

<h3>What is a Manufacturing Revolution?</h3>

This refers to the process of change from a handicraft economy to industry production-based production.

Hence, we can see that Mr. Scalabre believes we are not growing in productivity because there has not been enough automation to perform the tasks needed.

The effect of robotics is making an impact on productivity because a lot of complex, difficult tasks are done by machines.

3D printing has made an impact on productivity because there is a reduction in the pressing cycle and errors due to negligence are reduced.

The role the engineers have to play in the next revolution is that they would have to produce mathematical model that can be used to produce better AIs

A steel rod, which is free to move, has a length of 200 mm and a diameter of 20 mm at a temperature of 15oC. If the rod is heate
kherson [118]

Explanation:

thermal expansion ∝L = (δL/δT)÷L ----(1)

δL = L∝L + δT ----(2)

we have δL = 12.5x10⁻⁶

length l = 200mm

δT = 115°c - 15°c = 100°c

putting these values into equation 1, we have

δL = 200*12.5X10⁻⁶x100

= 0.25 MM

L₂ = L + δ L

= 200 + 0.25

L₂ = 200.25mm

12.5X10⁻⁶ *115-15 * 20

= 0.025

20 +0.025

D₂ = 20.025

as this rod undergoes free expansion at 115°c, the stress on this rod would be = 0
