Answer:

The engineers disagreed because their jobs were on the line

The ethical factors are:

The reason for the customer dumping the business is yet to be figured out

The need to keep cost to the lowest ebb in order to keep maintain profitability at the expense of employees' welfare

The are several ways of growing customer base which  are yet to be exploited.

Explanation:

The engineers disagree because there is no direct connection between the company's loss of the customer and their proposed layoff of the engineers,at least no one strong evidence has been given by the president.

The ethical factors inherent in this case are as follows:

The reason for the customer dumping the business is yet to be figure out

The need to keep cost to the lowest ebb in order to keep maintain profitability.

The are several ways of growing customer base which  are yet to be exploited.

There is  a need for a fact-finding exercise to establish the main motive behind losing such customer,without which the company can run into more troubles in future,otherwise the company would keep firing its good hands each time a customer dumps it.

Also,the president had resulted into such decision in order to maintain company's margins,where then lies ethics of welfare economics?Welfare economics is about looking beyond margins and looking at issues from a wider perspective of fulfilling the needs of employees in order for them to put in their best performance,at least by granting them job safety.

The company could have also grown business by investing in new technology that sets it apart from competitors instead of just jumping into the conclusions of sacking employees in a business where the company's strength lies in quality of engineers that it has.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 h duration will raise the carbon concentration
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

135 hour

Explanation:

It is given that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 hour will raise the carbon concentration by 0.35 wt% at a point of 2 mm from the surface.

We have to find the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 6 mm position.

we know that \frac{x_1^2}{Dt}=constant where x is distance and t is time .As the temperature is constant so D will be also constant

So \frac{x_1^2}{t}=constant

then \frac{x_1^2}{t_1}=\frac{x_2^2}{t_2} we have given x_1=2 mm\ ,t_1=15 hour\ ,x_2=6\ mm and we have to find t_2 putting all these value in equation

\frac{2^2}{15}=\frac{6^2}{t_2}

so t_2=135\ hour

zaharov [31]
The coil polarity in a waste-spark system is determined by the direction in which the coil is wound (left-hand rule for conventional current flow)and can’t be changed. For example, if a V-8 engine has a firing order of 18436572 and the number 1 cylinder is on compression, which cylinder will be on the exhaust stroke?
