Answer and Explanation:

JIT stands for Just In Time Inventory is one where cost is decreased and hence efficiency is increased by reduction in waste.

Advantages of JIT are:

An increase in productivity
Waste elimination
Improved product quality

Disadvantages of JIT are:

Chances and risk of running out of stock
Requirement of big amount of capital investment
Low flexibility and lacking control over time frame.

Answer:

Carpenter's square

Explanation:

The most common hand tool used to measure or set angles with its application extending to setting angles of roofs and rafters. Another name of a Carpenter's square is a framing square.

Other hand tools that are used to measure angles are;

The combination square that allows a user to set both 90° and 45° angles
A Bevel that allows users to set any angle they like.
A Protractor that resembles a bevel but its marks are marked in an arc.
An electromagnetic angle finder which gives a reading according to the measure of the arms adjusted by the user.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

answers:

1. Chemical engineering is most difficult because it's a mix of physics, chemistry and math

2. Stoichiometry is so important because it shows how materials react, interact and play off each other

3. Yes I think consumers would notice if process control standards were not met. for example medicines, when people take Tylenol or cold pills, if the amount of time it took to kick it becomes longer, people will become aware that the product is not consistent and reliable.

4. i have no idea sorry :(

A sinusoidal wave of frequency 420 Hz has a speed of 310 m/s. (a) How far apart are two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad?

Olin [163]

Answer:

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad are 0.0461 m apart.

b) The phase difference between two displacements at a certain point at times 1.6 ms apart is 4π/3.

Explanation:

f = 420 Hz, v = 310 m/s, λ = wavelength = ?

v = fλ

λ = v/f = 310/420 = 0.738 m

T = periodic time of the wave = 1/420 = 0.00238 s = 0.0024 s = 2.4 ms

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad

In terms of the wavelength of the wave, this is equivalent to [(π/8)/2π] fraction of a wavelength,

[(π/8)/2π] = 1/16 of a wavelength = (1/16) × 0.738 = 0.0461 m

b) two displacements at times 1.6 ms apart.

In terms of periodic time, 1.6ms is (1.6/2.4) fraction of the periodic time.

1.6/2.4 = 2/3.

This means those two points are 2/3 fraction of a periodic time away from each other.

1 complete wave = 2π rad

Points 2/3 fraction of a wave from each other will have a phase difference of 2/3 × 2π = 4π/3.

You are given a body with no body forces and told that the stress state is given as: ⎡ ⎣ 3αx 5βx2 + αy γz3 5βx2 + αy βx2 0 γz3 0

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

This doesn't represent an equilibrium state of stress

Explanation:

∝ = 1 , β = 1 , y = 1

x = 0 , y = 0 , z = 0 ( body forces given as 0 )

Attached is the detailed solution is and also the conditions for equilibrium

for a stress state to be equilibrium all three conditions has to meet the equilibrum condition as explained in the attached solution
