Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': Load is far from fulcrum and the effort is applied near the fulcrum

Explanation:

A lever works on the principle of balancing of torques. The torque about the fulcrum by the load should be equal to the torque by the applied effort. Since we know that the torque is proportional to both the force and the distance it is applied from the distance from the axis of rotation. A lever is used when we need to lift a heavy load by utilizing this effect of the lever arm.

A mechanical disadvantage occurs when we are not able to lift the weight easily due to the fact we apply effort near the fulcrum.

Should the ship breaking business continue why or why not?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Ship-breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials, chiefly scrap. It may also be known as ship dismantling, ship cracking, or ship recycling. Modern ships have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years before corrosion, metal fatigue and a lack of parts render them uneconomical to operate.[1] Ship-breaking allows the materials from the ship, especially steel, to be recycled and made into new products. This lowers the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steel making process. Fixtures and other equipment on board the vessels can also be reused. While ship-breaking is sustainable, there are concerns about the use of poorer countries without stringent environmental legislation. It is also labor-intensive, and considered one of the world's most dangerous industries.[2]

In 2012, roughly 1,250 ocean ships were broken down, and their average age was 26 years.[3][4] In 2013, the world total of demolished ships amounted to 29,052,000 tonnes, 92% of which were demolished in Asia. As of January 2020, India has the largest global share at 30%;[5] followed by Bangladesh, China and Pakistan.[6] Alang, India currently has the world's largest ship graveyard,[5] followed by Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard in Bangladesh and Gadani in Pakistan.[6]

The largest sources of ships are states of China, Greece and Germany respectively, although there is a greater variation in the source of carriers versus their disposal.[7] The ship-breaking yards of India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan employ 225,000 workers as well as providing many indirect jobs. In Bangladesh, the recycled steel covers 20% of the country's needs and in India it is almost 10%.[8]

As an alternative to ship-breaking, ships may be sunk to create artificial reefs after legally-mandated removal of hazardous materials, or sunk in deep ocean waters. Storage is a viable temporary option, whether on land or afloat, though all ships will be eventually scrapped, sunk, or preserved for museums.

<h3>What are informal surveys?</h3>

In informal surveys can be regarded as a type of survey that can be made by the researcher by going to the field themselves and this can be done by using different methods or ways.

For instance, the researcher can go out to interview people that can give the data that is needed about the research such as informally asking them questions,  unstructured techniques can also be used to solve critical issues.

A garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The number of gallons, g (y), is proportional to the number of seconds, t (x
stepladder [879]

Answer:

0.4 gallons per second

Explanation:

A function shows the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable.

The independent variable (x values) are input variables i.e. they don't depend on other variables while the dependent variable (y values) are output variables i.e. they depend on other variables.

The rate of change or slope or constant of proportionality is the ratio of the dependent variable (y value) to the independent variable (x value).

Given that the garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The dependent variable = g = number of gallons, the independent variable = t = number of seconds.

Constant of proportionality = g / t = 2 / 5 = 0.4 gallons per second
