Adam has 5 barrels of different volumes. The barrel of which volume can contain the most liquid?

A plant has ten machines and currently operates two 8-hr shift per day, 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year. the ten machines pro

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

83.6%

Explanation:

On its current schedule, the plant can theoretically produce ...

(30 pc/h/machine)(10 machine)(8 h/shift)(2 shift/day)(5 day/wk)(50 wk/yr)

= (30)(10)(8)(2)(5)(50) pc/yr = 1,200,000 pc/yr

__

On the proposed schedule, this production becomes ...

(30 pc/mach)(10 mach)(8 h/sh)(3 sh/da)(6 da/wk)(51 wk/yr)

= (30)(10)(8)(3)(6)(51) pc/yr = 2,203,200 pc/yr

The increase in capacity is ...

(2,203,200/1,200,000 -1) × 100% = 83.6% . . . capacity increase

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The number of parts per shift did not change. Only the number of shifts per year changed. It went up by a factor of (3/2)(6/5)(51/50) = 1.836. Hence the 83.6% increase in capacity.

We have to assume that maintenance and repair are done as effectvely as before in the reduced down time that each machine has.

1. The construction process begins with which of the following stages?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c) site preparation

Explanation:

A construction process can be defined as a series of important physical events (processes) that must be accomplished during the execution of a construction project.

Generally, in the construction of any physical asset such as offices, hospitals, schools, stadiums etc, the first step of the construction process is site preparation. Site preparation refers to processes such as clearing, blasting, levelling, landfilling, surveying, cutting, excavating and demolition of all unwanted objects on a piece of land, so as to make it ready for use.

This ultimately implies that, site preparation should be the first task to be accomplished in the construction process.

Hence, the construction process typically begins with site preparation before other activities such as the laying of foundation can be done.

Additionally, construction costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the development of a built asset, project or property. The construction costs is classified into two (2) main categories and these are; capital and operational costs.

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa √m (50 ksi √in.). If, during

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

0.024 m = 24.07 mm

Explanation:

1) Notation

$\sigma_c$ = tensile stress = 200 Mpa

$K$ = plane strain fracture toughness= 55 Mpa $\sqrt{m}$

$\lambda$ = length of a surface crack (Variable of interest)

2) Definition and Formulas

The Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling force. It is customarily measured in units (F/A), like the pressure. Is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of materials and structural engineering.

By definition we have the following formula for the tensile stress:

$\sigma_c=\frac{K}{Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}}$ (1)
