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.

A light aircraft with a wing area of 200 ft^2 and a weight of 2000 lb has a lift coefficient of 0.39 and a drag coefficient of 0
Gnoma [55]

Answer: power required to maintain level flight=82.20hp

Explanation:

Given

Area = 200 ft^2

Weight = 2000 lb

Cl( Lift coefficient)= 0.39

Cd( Drag coefficient) = 0.06  

The density ρ of air at standard atmospheric  pressure = 2.38 X 10^-3 slugs/ft^3

For Equilibrium to be maintained during flight conditions, the lift force must be balanced by the weight of the aircraft such that

Lift force  = Weight of aircraft

(1/2)ρAU²Cl= W

1/2X 2.38 X 10^-3 X 200 X U² X 0.39 = 2000

U²= 2000 X 2 / 2.38 X 10^-3 X 200 X 0.39

U=\sqrt{21,547.08}

Velocity, U= 146.7892ft/s

Drag force of the velocity can be deduced from the formulae

Cd= Drag force(D) /1/2 ρU²A

Drag force=1/2 ρU²ACd

D=1/2 x (2.38 X 10^-3 slugs/ft^3) x (146.7892ft/s)² x 200 ft^2 x 0.06

D=307.69

Drag force= 308lb

power required to maintain level flight is given as

P = Drag force x Velocity = D x U

=308lb X  146.7892ft/s

=45,211.0736lb.ft/s

Changing to hp we have that

1 Horsepower, hp = 550 ft lbf/s

??=45,211.0736lb.ft/s

45,211.0736lb.ft/s/ 550 ft lbf/s= 82.20hp

What motivated software engineers to move from the waterfall model to the incremental or spiral model
scoray [572]

Answer:

1. They needed to develop multiple components in software programs.

2. The ability to overlap the development to be more evolutionary in nature.

3. The need to be more risk-averse or the unwillingness to take risks led to the use of a spiral model.

Explanation:

Software development life cycle (SDLC) can be defined as a strategic process or methodology that defines the key steps or stages for creating and implementing high quality software applications.

In SDLC, a waterfall model can be defined as a process which involves sequentially breaking the software development into linear phases. Thus, the development phase takes a downward flow like a waterfall and as such each phase must be completed before starting another without any overlap in the process.

An incremental model refers to the process in which the requirements or criteria of the software development is divided into many standalone modules until the program is completed.

Also, a spiral model can be defined as an evolutionary SDLC that is risk-driven in nature and typically comprises of both an iterative and a waterfall model. Spiral model of SDLC consist of these phases; planning, risk analysis, engineering and evaluation.

<em>What motivated software engineers to move from the waterfall model to the incremental or spiral model is actually due to the following fact;</em>

  • They needed to develop multiple components in software programs.
  • The ability to overlap the development to be more evolutionary in nature.
  • The need to be more risk-averse or the unwillingness to take risks led to the use of a spiral model.

Define prisms. How to draw true shape of a prism?
aksik [14]

Answer:

In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygonal base, a second base which is a translated copy of the first, and n other faces joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the bases are translations of the bases.
