Joe is a chemical engineer whose plant discharges heavy metals into the local river. By the test authorized by the city governme

nt, the amount of heavy metals is under the legal limit imposed by the city. By a new and more accurate test, the discharge is above the legal limit, that is, the discharge is in violation of environmental rules. Joe argues with his manager that the plant should reduce its discharges to comply with the newer and more accurate test.
The case contains a conceptual issue insofar as:


A.the issue is whether present emission rates constitute a violation of city regulations.


B.the issue is what is meant by “violation.”


C.the issue is how Joe should balance his obligations to his employer against his obligations to city residents.


D.the issue is whether the heavy metals presently emitted by the plant pose a threat to the health of the community.

Answer:

B probably

Explanation:

Because the prompt doesn't specify what sort of violation it could be anything maybe when they release the metals during the day and so on.

"It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. A
Flura [38]

Explanation:

It may be instructive to look at the opposite of the sentence here. Perhaps the smarter creature would be more unhappy when frustrated, recognizing how it gains from happiness relative to the creature with less experience and less knowledge of a situation that does not define it at the moment.  

Perhaps the argument is really about the fact that wisdom helps one to hypothetically live in multiple states and a lack of wisdom prevents or fails this possibility.

If there are 16 signal combinations (states) and a baud rate (number of signals/second) of 8000/second, how many bps could I sen
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

32000 bits/seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

there are 16  signal combinations (states) = 2⁴

bits  n = 4

and a baud rate (number of signals/second) = 8000/second

Therefore; the number of bits per seconds can be calculated as follows:

Number of bits per seconds = bits  n × number of signal per seconds

Number of bits per seconds =  4 × 8000/second

Number of bits per seconds = 32000 bits/seconds

alexira [117]

Answer: hello the complete question is attached below

answer:

A) Group symbol = SW

B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand

C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200

Explanation:

<u>A) Classifying the soil according to USCS system</u>

 ( using 2nd image attached below )

<em>description of sand</em> :

The soil is a coarse sand since  ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200 sieve, also

The soil is a sand given that more than 50% particles passed from No 4 sieve

The soil can be a clean sand given that fines ≤ 12%

The soil can be said to be a well graded sand because the percentage of particles passing through decreases gradually over time

Group symbol as per the 2nd image attached below = SW

B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand

C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200

While discussing what affects the amount of pressure exerted by the brakes: Technician A says that the shorter the line, the mor
harina [27]

Answer:

Only Technician B is right.

Explanation:

The cylindrical braking system for a car works through the mode of pressure transmission, that is, the pressure applied to the brake pedals, is transmitted to the brake pad through the cylindrical piston.

Pressure applied on the pedal, P(pedal) = P(pad)

And the Pressure is the applied force/area for either pad or pedal. That is, P(pad) = Force(pad)/A(pad) & P(pedal) = F(pedal)/A(pedal)

If the area of piston increases, A(pad) increases and the P(pad) drops, Meaning, the pressure transmitted to the pad reduces. And for most cars, there's a pressure limit for the braking system to work.

If the A(pad) increases, P(pad) decreases and the braking force applied has to increase, to counter balance the dropping pressure and raise it.

This whole setup does not depend on the length of the braking lines; it only depends on the applied force and cross sectional Area (size) of the piston.
