A worker is told her chances of being killed by a particular process are 1 in every 300 years. Should the worker be satisfied or

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

(a) Yes, he should be worried. The Fatal accident rate (FAR) is too high according to standars of the industry. This chemical plant has a FAR of 167, where in average chemical plants the FAR is about 4.

(b) FAR=167 and Death poer person per year = 0.0033 deaths/year.

(c) The expected number of fatalities on a average chemical plant are one in 12500 years.

Explanation:

Asumming 50 weeks of work, with 40 hours/week, we have 2000 work hours a year.

In 300 years we have 600,000 hours.

With these estimations, we have (1/600,000)=1.67*10^(-6) deaths/hour.

If we have 2000 work hours a year, it is expected 0.0033 deaths/year.

$1.67*10^{-6} \frac{deaths}{hour}*2000 \frac{hours}{year}=0.0033 deaths/year$

The Fatal accident rate (FAR) can be expressed as the expected number of fatalities in 100 millions hours (10^(8) hours).

In these case we have calculated 1.67*10^(-6) deaths/hour, so we can estimate FAR as:

$FAR=1.67*10^{-6} \frac{deaths}{hour}*10^{8} hours=1.67*10^{2} =167$

A FAR of 167 is very high compared to the typical chemical plants (FAR=4), so the worker has reasons to be worried.

If we assume FAR=4, as in an average chemical plant, we expect

$4\frac{deaths}{10^{8} hour} *2000\frac{hours}{year}=8*10^{-5} \frac{deaths}{year}$

This is equivalent to say

$\frac{1}{8*10^{-5} } \frac{years}{death}=1.25*10^{4} \frac{years}{death} =12500 \, \frac{years}{death}$

The expected number of fatalities on a average chemical plant are one in 12500 years.

The force of 20 N acts upon a 5kg block. What is the acceleration of the block?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

where

a is the acceleration

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 5 kg

We have

$a = \frac{20}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a

meriva

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X
