A process has four stages (A, B, C, and D). The stages have output rates of 5 units/hr, 12 units/hr, 10 units/hr, and 7 units/hr, respectively. What is the output rate of this process?

a.

12 units/hr
b.

10 units/hr
c.

7 units/hr
d.

5 units/hr

Solutions

Expert Solution

d. 5 units/hr

As among the four stages, the output rate is minimum for A, that would be 5 Units/hr, then the overall output rate will also be the same as that would impede the higher output rate as well.

You have four identical conducting spheres: A, B, C, and D. In each scenario, sphere A starts with a charge of +?+Q whereas B, C, and D start out with no net charge, and then the spheres are touched to each other and separated in the order described. Any spheres not in contact are held very far away. For each scenario, give the final charge of sphere A as a whole number fraction of ?.Q. For example, if you decide...
