A retail store uses a CD ROM with 700 MB capacity to store its products name, specification and manufacturer information. On the average, including the spaces between words, the products names are 15 letters long. The product specification and manufacturer information require 60 and 30 letters each. An additional 200 letters is required for retailer tracking information.

How many CDs are necessary for 1,000,000 products?

1. Find a picture on the internet that shows the underlying structure of an aircraft wing and discuss how it is similar to the box beam concept.

2.The box beam concept handles bending and torsional loads. Consider and discuss what structural elements we have explored so far in this course that address these loads. Hint: there are two (one for bending and one for torsion). Also, please include the following in the discussion.

Depending on the air vehicle performance requirements a wing’s thickness is different. For example, a lower speed vehicle such as a large transport aircraft (e.g., B-747) will have a thicker wing compared to a fighter aircraft. The reasons for this are beyond the scope of this course.

Consider the I-beam concept we have been exploring in this module. Discuss what happens as the wing thickness changes. For example, what is the variable in the bending equation that is effected as the wing thickness changes?

How could the allowable stress level be managed for the different wing structures (i.e., what happens to the skin thickness, which is the upper part of the box beam)?

During the semester, we talked a lot of impact of People, Process and Technology. All of the above come together to either help Enterprises thrive in business or vanish. One important point of intersection is the relationship between the Enterprise Structure and Culture. There is a general assumption that the Enterprise structure and Enterprise culture impact each other. In a domain of your choice, with examples, First, outline the mechanism through which Enterprise Culture impacts the design of Enterprise Structure, how the culture affects the long term maintenance, strengthening, or changing of enterprise structure. Second, based on the known classifications of Enterprise structure, please provide examples of kind of culture that would exist and mutual interdependence with structure. Pros and Cons of both scenarios.
