b.The monarch could expand his or her territory into new lands without the cost or risk required to set up a colony.

Charters were business ventures and the cost and maintenance of the settlement is up to the business.

Monarchs investing in a charter allowed them to expand their empire and bring wealth into the country with little investment. The monarch acted as an investor while the company set up a means of making money. If the settlement failed was successful, the monarchy would profit but if it failed the money lost was felt most by the company.

nalin [4]

assuming efficiency of each man to dig trench, in one day, for one hour is constant,

e=\frac{180}{4\times6\times5}=\frac{3}{2}

so one man, working for one hour in one day can dig 1.5 m

so 8 men, working 3 hours a day and will take, say $d$ number of days and efficiency will be constant. so,

$\frac32=\frac{220}{8\times3\times d}$

$\implies d=\frac{55}9=6.12$

How did technology cause the Industrial Revolution? And how did the Industrial Revolution affected our society today?
gladu [14]
Technology caused the Industrial revolution because the main point of the IR was the fact that the US became more modernized and were able to produce more for less. In the industrial revolution, both were achieved with the use of mass-production, which made most of the mass-produced products more affordable for more people, and so the sellers sold more.

the Industrial revolution affects our society today, because without the sudden invention of many things (cars, typewriters, railroads) we wouldn't be a world power as we are today. Also, without the IR, we may have lost more wars throughout the years then we actually did
