Write a program to calculate overtime pay of 10 employees. Overtime is paid at the rate of Rs. 12.00

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Here is the code.

Explanation:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

int i, time_worked, over_time, overtime_pay = 0;

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

{

printf("\nEnter the time employee worked in hr ");

scanf("%d", &time_worked);

if (time_worked>40)

{

over_time = time_worked - 40;

overtime_pay = overtime_pay + (12 * over_time);

}

printf("\nTotal Overtime Pay Of 10 Employees Is %d", overtime_pay);

return 0;

}

Output :

Enter the time employee worked in hr 42

Enter the time employee worked in hr 45

Enter the time employee worked in hr 42

Enter the time employee worked in hr 41

Enter the time employee worked in hr 50

Enter the time employee worked in hr 51

Enter the time employee worked in hr 52

Enter the time employee worked in hr 53

Enter the time employee worked in hr 54

Enter the time employee worked in hr 55

Total Overtime Pay Of 10 Employees Is 1020.

While there are many ways to solve this problem, one strategy is to calculate the volume of any metal's unit cell given its theo

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$V_{c}=1.396x10^{-28} m^{3} /unit.cell$

Explanation:

z = number of atoms

M = Molar mass of zirconium

N = Avogadro’s number

Vc = volume of zirconium unit cell

d = density

$z=12x\frac{1}{6}+2x\frac{1}{2}+3=6$

z = 6 atoms per unit cell

M = 91.224 g/mol

N = $6.023x10^{23} atoms/mol$

d = $6.51g/cm^{3}$

$V_{c}=\frac{zxM}{dxN}$

$V_{c}=\frac{6x(91.224g/mol)}{(6.51g/cm^{3}) x(6.023x10^{23}atoms/mol) }$

$V_{c}=1.396x10^{-22} cm^{3} /unit.cell$

$V_{c}=1.396x10^{-28} m^{3} /unit.cell$

Explain the differences between planned and predictive maintenance.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Planned maintenance refers to any scheduled activity carried out to check a machine is working ok and diagnose procedures to fix it if need it. On the other hand, predictive mainteance is all the techniques which help to define if a machine requires or not maintenance activities so far.

Explanation:

Planned maintenance is based on preventive routines to ensure a machine is working in acceptable conditions and at the same time prevent them to change to risky values performing acticities like parts replacement, cleaning, etc. The key of this maintenance is schedule, that is to say, is a maintenance that has to be carried out constantly each certain time. Predictive maintenance is different because it is used to define if a machie needs any kind of inspection or if, on the contrary, the machine can continue operating without any intervention. The good point about predictive maintenance is the capability of telling when a maintenance is required and when is no necessarily required which is ideal to save costs.

The solid cylinders AB and BC are bonded together at B and are attached to fixed supports at A and C. The modulus of rigidity is

romanna [79]

Answer:

a) 0.697*10³ lb.in

b) 6.352 ksi

Explanation:

For cylinder AB:

Let Length of AB = 12 in

$c=\frac{1}{2}d=\frac{1}{2} *1.1=0.55in\\ J=\frac{\pi c^4}{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}0.55^4=0.1437\ in^4\\$

$\phi_B=\frac{T_{AB}L}{GJ}=\frac{T_{AB}*12}{3.3*10^6*0.1437} =2.53*10^{-5}T_{AB}$

For cylinder BC:

Let Length of BC = 18 in

$c=\frac{1}{2}d=\frac{1}{2} *2.2=1.1in\\ J=\frac{\pi c^4}{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}1.1^4=2.2998\ in^4\\$

$\phi_B=\frac{T_{BC}L}{GJ}=\frac{T_{BC}*18}{5.9*10^6*2.2998} =1.3266*10^{-6}T_{BC}$

$2.53*10^{-5}T_{AB}=1.3266*10^{-6}T_{BC}\\T_{BC}=19.0717T_{AB}$

$T_{AB}+T_{BC}-T=0\\T_{AB}+T_{BC}=T\\T_{AB}+T_{BC}=14*10^3\ lb.in\\but\ T_{BC}=19.0717T_{AB}\\T_{AB}+19.0717T_{AB}=14*10^3\\20.0717T_{AB}=14*10^3\\T_{AB}=0.697*10^3\ lb.in\\T_{BC}=13.302*10^3\ lb.in$
